The Monty Hall problem, as it is initially stated by vos Savant (and even in this link) is not well written. It make implicit assumptions about the host behavior.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monty_Hall_problem#Other_host_...

If this had been clear from the beginning, there would not have been so much confusion about this problem. So in this case, vos Savant is also quite "wrong".

Vos Savant claimed that, of the people who explained their demurral, most were, in fact, basing their objections on the intended reading of the question.

It really irks me that the original reader asked the question, stated that the host knew what was behind the doors, but didn't state any rules to the gameshow whatsoever. Savant basically made up the entirety of the question herself.

This whole section of history should just be erased because of how much controversy it caused without any serious progression.
