Again, that would address our personal positions on whether or not the universe works that way, whether or not there's such a thing as an inevitability. Whether or not the criticism of omniscience as it relates to future knowledge is a logical one, that follows from it's assumptions..is something else entirely.
The sort of future knowledge being alleged in the case of cassandra and omni gods..opposed to random hedge witches (I don't believe in any of this shit, lol), is a certain inevitability. If there was such knowledge, or if such knowledge were possessed...this has a deleterious effect on classical free will. You can;t choose b at all. You will choose a. OIt;s a certain inevitability. Known to be so, in advance of you have ever been aware that you wopuld even be making any choice.
In the case of omni god...all of the future spread out as an inevitable tapestry of certainty before the beginning, lol.
Again, I don't see how you're equating knowledge of certainty to lack of free will. The choice will always be there, despite the knowledge that A will be chosen over B. You seem to lack the incapability of understanding that for some reason. Yes, free will is tied directly to choice.
