"Free" in the context of Free Will does not

It does not even mean that every act is

I never said that it did. But one atrribute of
our greater complexity is the ability to move

We can "fall" at several Mach thanks to our ability
to move and think.

This argument might work if the rock could
throw us.

Your principle is invalid.
