I understand what the example is trying to get across they just explained it poorly. .

My definition of event . The choice is the event.

Monty Hall knows which door has the car.
That’s exactly right. The example that was given isn’t comparable to counting cards because it’s done in a different format.
Sorry if I don’t make sense because of lack of sleep.
