Most of the kids I've ever heard say thank you did not sound as if the decision to do so came freely from them. Yet plenty of thank you's get delivered. Thanking doesn't seem to have all that much to do with free will. Thanking is a culturally transmitted phenomenon more easily sustained in a hive than by a loose collection of autonomous agents.
