Also for a strictly mathematical way to view it. When you pick the door at the start you have a 1/3 chance of being correct. Revealing one of the goats doesn't change the fact that you had a 2/3 chance of being wrong initially and therefore you still have a 2/3 chance of being correct by switching. The information doesn't change the odds.
