Well, in the context of LOUMFW, these distinctions are nits. If I allow myself to zoom out and talk about free will in the (largely useless) way everyone usually does, then I'm with you. But I'm not really interested in those conversations.

If, somehow, you could turn these distinctions into concrete use cases for LOUMFW, then they might be interesting. But the words you chose to use in laying them out don't imply to me that you (or anyone on the list, even) would be interested in having that concrete conversation.

In that larger zoomed out context, I'll simply retreat to my default position that free will is a stupid concept and the phrase should be deleted from the lexicon. >8^D
