I just watched it again, and its great strength is it vividly dramatizes the consequences of thinking it doesn't matter if you switch or not. But in my opinion the downside is that to organize the actual explanation round this fallacy complicates things, which is why the video isn't so effective at this stage. Your approach starting with the consequences of wrong and right picks is the clearer and more elegant. But maybe both are needed when dealing with what's essentially a trick. | |
