Abstract
We revisit the vexed question of how unpredictability can arise in a deterministic universe, focusing on unitary quantum theory. We discuss why quantum unpredictability is irrelevant for the possibility of what some people call `free-will', and why existing `free-will' arguments are themselves irrelevant to argue for or against a physical theory.
