Floods, angel babies, and arks oh my!
"Hey fellas I gave you this awesome thing called free will. A word of caution, never, ever use it. I'm going to give you everything you need to know, answer every question that need be asked, all you have to do is listen and obey...but whatever you do...don't make a choice. If you do, I'm afraid I'm going to have to punish you for eternity. That's how much I love free will, and choices."
"Sounds reasonable."
We gamblers call the ark/angel baby scenario a "double-down". Sometimes when you're caught in a bluff, you make an even more daring bluff, it's distracting.
