The issue is that a lot of people look at humans and say "This kind of behavior requires and proves free will", which would mean that exhibiting human-like behavior without free will ought to be impossible.
- foldr 8y agoI don't think anyone concludes that humans have free will on the basis of their behavior. At least, that's a pretty unusual line of argument.

Most people who argue for free will do so on the basis that it appears that we are free, not because there is some physical mechanic of the universe that implies free will.
