That's simply wrong. This has been discussed countless times on this forum. The most effective way to proceed is for you to spend 5 minutes writing the simulation that you think will prove you right. When I was on the other side of this, that experience is what convinced me.

> The notion of him maybe revealing a car is senseless anyway because you would just then pick the car or the game would be over.

That's not a very strong objection - game shows are weird sometimes and could often apparently be easily improved.

But more importantly, it's an objection to the wrong thing. My point was that the presented "find the herds" problem differed from the game show. "That would have been a bullshit game show" is just confused.
