We get to the same place but I use the same process of rejecting the counter-intuitive. It is just that for me given the fact that free will requires some element of the supernatural I have no reason to suppose the counter-intuitive that just because I perceive it is a reason to think it real.

But yeah, definitely not an issue of any great import. If someone figures out how to prove it one way or another (scientifically, for my satisfaction) then great. But similarly, if it does turn out that we're in a holograhpic universe it doesn't really matter one lick as for as our experience of life goes.
