And my response was that this wasn't necessarily the case. This seems to be an article of faith with you. One that can be countered with a definition of a supernatural automaton that parallels your description of libertarian free will. Therefore, if a mind with libertarian free will can do it, so can an automaton that is omniscient. Otherwise you're just engaged in special pleading.
