It sounds like a good response only if you ignore the real point being raised: when coerced, a being who thinks of itself as having free will fights back at least a small amount.
That summary is so high-level and abstract as to be useless.
At that level, we face coercion all the time: a traffic light is a form of coercion backed by the threat of state violence.
Does fighting back against that coercion explain why people run red lights?
Moreover, if it's the expected human response, what explains the 2% difference between now and the 2019-2020 school year? Do more people now think of themselves as having free will than a few years ago?
Do you agree with every single traffic light in every single circunstance (place, and your timing)? Moreover, do you agree with every future traffic light that will ever be placed?

The 2% is why you don't force vaccine mandates.
There are studies showing it (pre covid) and we knew the entire time what would happen.
It's so common sense I have to just fu*ing laugh about it all. Sorry.
