But it is in your advantage! Code a simulator and do some numerical experiments. The simulations where you switch end up winning more.

Edit: from your other reply I see your beef is more with the wording.

Edit edit: although I disagree with your point even then. But it seems to lead to rather fruitless argument, so let's leave it here.

I think reasoning with the 100-door variation is likely to be more enlightening than encoding your assumptions into a simulation.

I'm sure it depends on the person. Some people like to see raw numbers, others a more general problem.
