To 1010011010: It's a bit weird to be patronized by an idiot. But that's one way you spot an idiot, I suppose. What happened to the key word: "operationally"? Are you using alternating definitions again?

To Asaris: There's a difference between the two men, but no difference in their situation when it comes to leaving the room. Neither can. Neither will. That's why I added the caveat, "in effect."

And you could be right about the "red herring." There have been some very fishy statements made recently. The argument that you have no free will because you obviously have limited choices is a non sequitur worthy of our faux Socrates. It doesn't do much to prove we have any degree of free will either. It's just a bad example of an argument period.
