Oct 22, 2015 at 11:47 comment added Dilip Sarwate @whuber The sentence that I quoted and that I denigrated is in the paragraph describing the one-contestant game. One might cavil at (though I choose not to do so) the misuse of odds to describe chances. My complaint is about the change from one-in-three to one-in-two if you switch. There are lots of nuances to the Monty Hall game with respect to Monty's knowledge, whether he always offers a switch, or only when the player has chosen the door with the car, etc. but with the standard rules (stated in the links in my own answer), "to one in two if you switch" is nonsense.
