PAL: Line 2; Simply having the feeling of freedom does not entail that we
are actually acting freely. Line 2 seems to fail on a bit of an equivocation. Feeling
that my head hurts is not the same feeling as feeling that I have free will. I feel my
head hurt and I think or believe that I am acting freely. Line 2, with a think or
believe reading of the term feeling, does not lead to a conclusion with HD being
false. The thoughts or beliefs about the would that we hold have no effect on the
truth of HD.
