<<They're not saying that quantum uncertainty is the freedom in freedom
of will, but that the role of measurement places constraints on what
can determine which measurement the experimentor chooses to make.>>

Or to be more precise it places no constraints and so all possibilities
are equally possible and so maximizes the information content.
It says nothing about free will in the philosophic sense and in fact would
seem to go against the concept of nekudat habechirah. i.e. for every
such experiment every conceivable observation needs to be equally
probable.

Again, extension from QM to classical physics are always questionable
