This is always a hangup. Why couldn't it be the door you picked and he is luring you away.

You have a 1/3 chance of being right from the outset... just because he showed you a goat, doesn't change those odds, you still have a 1/3 chance of being right... 3 doors, and you picked one... the goat increases the odds of the last door to 2/3 by negating the goat's door to zero
He adds a value input to the remaining door, by stripping away the value of the goat's door... your initial door is still at 1/3 because you picked it with no added value input
You have a 1/3 chance of being right from the start, and a 2/3 chance of being right if you switch
They are counting on people being either too arrogant or too uncomfortable to change
