I have a question regarding the REA (interpretation?/definition?) of
free will.  Consider the case where you are robbed at gunpoint.  Is
handing over your money an act of free will?  I think that by the
conventional use of the word the answer is quite definitely no; but
I see no way to get that answer by an REA definition.  What is our
REA advocate's position regarding this situation?
