As far as I recall, in the actual game show Monty Hall was never required to open a 'goat' door and offer you the switch. In fact, he did so almost exactly often enough to make switching vs. not switching a neutral proposition. I'm not exactly sure why, but this feels very relevant to the point of this post.
