That voting analogy I posted is an example of Frankfurt's work.
But it is the accepted understanding of omniscience to say it is the capacity to know.
Omniscience ( /ɒmˈnɪʃəns/[1]), mainly in religion, is the capacity to know everything that there is to know.

Why avoid the most reasonable definition of the word? Isn't it better to ask what others think of the definition rather than not discuss it at all? I mean, how can people come to any agreement about how omniscience affects freewill (or affects anything) if they don't even agree on what the word means?
