Yeah. Monty Fall is the same as the two beagle puppies problem: You're generating a set of possible universes, then reducing your set, then measuring.
Monty *could* have revealed the car, and if you run the test a million times he'll reveal the car in ~333K of them - but the fact that he didn't reveal it in this instance means we're not IN one of those ~333K worlds. That's kind of awesome.
