Very interesting, but he really seems to be missing something... He's saying that we have evitability in that we can dodge a brick, but if we rewound time and repeated the same encounter 1,000 times, would the outcome be the same? He makes clear that we can avoid things, but doesn't address whether or not we have any choice in avoiding them. Perhaps it is me who is missing something here...
