The article focuses on a very narrow point, but it does offer an insight on the debate of free will. However, it does not quite tackle the crux of the matter.

The article focuses on a very narrow point, but it does offer an insight on the debate of free will. However, it does not quite tackle the crux of the matter. If the choice we make is determine by influences beyond my control, as much as the cup of coffee has no choice but to follow my will, so to we as humans would have no choice but to choose the choice we made. Thus, perhaps it can not be said that we have free will. We do not know the entire complexities which create any given behaviour at any moment, thus in any practical way we do have free will, but in a theoretical level, if like the cup of coffee I am bound to act in a certain way, how can it possibly said that I am free?
