Does he have to? After all he doesn't claim it exists, others do! I agree with Ev 100% on this one ... the existence of free will (freedom of thought) is an assumption because there is no objective way of assessing whether what we thing is freedom of thought actually exists.

If he claims it has validity in some sense he should be able to give a meaningfull definition.
If he claims (although at the moment it doesn't look so te me) that it has no meaning at all he should avoid the use of the word.
