You're right - there is a class of problems for which we can know what the right answer is, like the Monty Hall problem. (Although I notice that the Sleeping Beauty problem is a math problem on which we were not able to agree on what the right answer was, because people had linguistic disagreements on how to interpret the meaning of the problem.)
