You're so sure your intuitive solution is right that you've thrown logic out the window. Pray tell, good sir, what the hell happens the other 998 times, then?

You're telling me 1 time in 1000 the door you chose before was right, and 1 time in 1000 the door the host left closed was right, and 998 times, a door with a goat actually has a car???
