I am missing a big chunk of this discussion. I simply don't see the
mystery. Why does knowledge = control?
I am training a newly-adopted dog. If I leave him in a room with food
on the floor, he will eat it. He has complete freedom of choice (a
better-trained dog might not), but there isn't the slightest doubt what
his choice will be.
Now a) humans aren't dogs and b) even for a dog there are choices I
can't predict. But the fact remains the same. The fact that I know
what choice he will make doesn't have any effect at all on his freedom
to make it.
