Well, in what way? Let's try to nail down why it seems faulty. As I described above, there;s no requirement of an entity that actually does know the future, only that the future can be known.
You find yourself in a situation where you have to choose a shirt. You have shirt A, you have shirt B. You're going to choose shirt b, this is a knowable future state. Can you choose shirt a? No, you are going to choose shirt b. I guess you made a choice, but what freedom did you exert in an event with a previously knowable outcome?
Why would the outcome be previously knowable?
