:How the dispute developed was the article originally had the form Martin seems to prefer (see for example the version when it was first promoted as an FA).  In this version, the one and only solution presented in the "solution" section was essentially vos Savant's solution.  In February 2008 an anonymous editor opened Pandora's box.  This user took issue with not featuring a solution based on conditional probability but instead featuring a solution that one of the basic sources (the much maligned on these pages Morgan et al.) calls "a false solution".  In the initial discussion with this user  (discussion continues into archive 7) I played the part currently being played by Martin (!), i.e. resisting the addition of a conditional solution early in the article on the grounds that the "simple" solution is perfectly fine.  After MUCH discussion on these pages, a compromise was reached where both "simple" and conditional solutions were presented - and this compromise form was vetted by the entire community during the FA review initiated in March 2008 .  The inclusion of a conditional solution has irked various users (e.g. Martin) ever since.
