I assume the guest knows that there is one car, and n-1 goats, and that the car is the only goal. Then the guest effectively selects one door he won't open. If the car is behind that door, he loses, but if it's not, eventually he will find it. So his chance of winning is (n-1)/n. I think the not switching thing is for cases where there is more than one car-type goal.
