As I mentioned in another comment, it's important to note that Monty Hall is guaranteed to open a door with a goat behind it (a losing door). If he chose randomly and just happened to reveal a goat, the answer would be different.

Indeed. This is the major reason I don't like the Monty Hall problem. When using stats and probability (at least in science), the universe is not your adversary.
