How does knowledge of what you will choose stop you from choosing something else?
So far no one has been willing to explicitly state the jump from "You won't choose A." to "You can't choose A."

To do something other than what which the omniscient being knows you will do would deny its omniscience. To be able to do something other than that which the omniscient being knows you will do, but not do it, would not deny its omniscience.
