I don’t think this helps me understand it.

In the 1,000 doors problem, my odds of being right initially were something like 1/1000 and then it changes to something like 998/1000 or 999/1000 for switching, I can’t intuitively grasp exactly what the odds become of winning if I switch, I just know it’s high. Bringing it down to 3 doors doesn’t help me much — it’s still something like 1/2 or 1/3.
