That is what I said.

The person I was responding to was saying that " We effectively have free will " just because "you would need something larger than existence " to process the data that predicts the Universe.

I was giving the example of the computer as a way to show that this is not typically the way we understand "free will", it's not about actually being able to predict things, not necessarily.
