in that situation you should take the chance to switch cases,

Any good statistician will tell you that the "Monty Hall problem"
depends upon key elements that this program lacks (the host's advance
knowledge of the prize distribution and his/her deliberate removal of
one or more undesirable prizes from consideration).
In this situation, swapping the briefcases has absolutely no impact on
the mathematical odds of selecting the case containing the higher
dollar amount.
