A distinction without a difference.
(1) A distinction is a difference. (2) "indeterminism" means "non-determinism" so that's a true dichotomy right there.
Not a relevant difference? Sure. But the point is that the kind of free will most people believe in most people can at least see isn't compatible with determinism. It's harder for some people to see it isn't compatible with indeterminism either. And Compatabilism absolutely is compatible with determinism.
