It is still removing possibilities (even though your analogy states he lacks freedom to do otherwise, i.e no free will) so it is free will within a set of parameters, which really isn't free will at all.
If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world. - J.R.R Tolkien
