It doesn't have to actually be predicted. But if your choice is in theory accurately predictable, then how is it free? It means it doesn't matter if your perception says you might have made a different choice, you in reality could never have made but the one you made. You are always totally and effectively coerced. It is merely a matter of when you are concious of coercion, or not.
So my view is there can never be any degree of freedom in a will, only degree of insensibility to the constraints that are rigidly controling it.
