I admit my "knowledge of some series of events" was ambiguous in the respect of not annotating the 'possessor' of this knowledge. In the case od the "dial", it or the machinery attached or the operator or some combination thereof, must have "knowledge of some series of events".
On the other hand;
There was a movie (I cannot think of the name of it now) in which a young girl had the power to foretell the future. Her comment on this power was "Once you know the future, it changes".
Or in the scene from 'The Matrix', "Would it have happened if I had not mentioned it?".
Both of these scenarios allow for free will.

You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.

Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins a movie by telling you how it ends. There are some things we don't want to know. Important things.
