The no-free-will theory is untestable.
The free-will theory is like-wise untestable.
When the no-free-will theorists are not thinking about their lack of free will
they invariably adopt free-will outlooks.
So go with the flow, why fight your natural instincts to believe in that which
is un-provable.  If you must choose between un-provable beliefs, take the one
that requires the least effort.
