View submission: Which side shoulders the burden of proof?

4. Neither. There is no burden of proof. Free will is not something you could prove or disprove.

Some people give the name *free will* to something real. Some people give the name *free will* to something imaginary. Both groups are equally right, no-one has to prove anything.

The only group of people on the wrong track are those who require proof. They have not properly defined what free will means to them.

So is consensus a waste of time, irrelevant or both?
