> His purposeful behavior could also be random.

It doesn't matter. Because the problem explains what happens: he opens a door and reveals a goat.

That is crucial information. There's now only one goat and one car left. But the choices have not been shuffled: you're definitely still pointing at your original choice.

What were the odds that your original choice is a goat? Two in three.

If you picked a goat, what is guaranteed to be behind the other door? A car.

So what are the odds that behind the other door is a car? Two in three.

You should switch.
