Still, it seems counterintuitive to me that if a plane is
sitting on a conveyer that is moving backwards at exactly the same
speed (I assume they mean groundspeed here) as the airplane is moving
forward that the airplane will move forward at the same speed as if it
was not on a conveyer at all.

Okay, I see why the plane moves forward normally no matter how fast the
treadmill is going and even why it would not work in an automobile.

As for that Monty Hall thing, I see that it works, but I have not
figured out why it works yet.

There are certainly some strange things in the world.
