Well I'm arguing against determinism. That isn't the same thing as arguing for free will.
Just because compatibilism is incoherent doesn't make free will and determinism a dichotomy.
Determinism can be false and free will can be false.
If the FSM determines it and the scientist still cannot determine it, that is fatalism and not determinism. Determinism is tethered to the laws of physics in a way that fatalism is not so tethered. Fatalism is not constrained by space and time. In contrast, determinism is causalilly constrained by space and time. That is to say causality is a logical relation only, but determinism is this logical relation restricted by the laws of physics which imply faster than light communication is impossible and the cause has to literally travel to the location of the effect prior to having that effect. For example, it takes eight minutes for a photon to travel from the sun to the earth so the determinist is under the delusion that whatever happens of the sun cannot have any effect on us here on earth until eight minutes after the fact. That has been debunked for almost a decade now and it became official when Clauser, Aspect and Zeilinger won the Nobel prize in 2022
There's nothing here!
