OK, then let's try an experiment.

I am Monty Hall. We have 1000 doors, but by your logic, you still have a 50-50 chance after the elimination.

I have picked a winning door. It is somewhere between 1-1000. I have written down the answer on a post-it on my monitor.

Pick a door, any door. I will then eliminate all doors but yours and one other. One of those two will be the winning door.

I will then give you the opportunity to switch, if you like.

I give you my pledge now -- switching will give you a 99.9% chance of winning.

Of course, since you think the odds are 50-50, we can go through several trials if you like.

Pick a door, Artsemis!
