I agree, those experiments, at most , show that reflexes and “short term” decisions aren’t really free, but these experiment do nothing to show that important decisions rent free.Not believing in free will is unreasonable, irrational and, I would even suggest, impossible.
Such an incredible claim, that humans have zero degree of control, is counterintuitive and contrasts with everything we experience. Is it possible that all we experience is just an illusion of free will? Sure. But such an incredible claim would surely require incredible evidence. People who claim free will does not exist(while I suspect they still believe in free will) fail to deliver any such incredible evidence. Often they point to a couple past studies with clear errors and assumptions.
And agree, denying free will is nonsense,
