Yes .. it's about free-will.
..and if free-will is "an illusion", then you are saying that we can't make any decisions freely.
It follows from that, that the decision to say the above statement was not made freely.
..which in effect means, that it is not us that are the ones saying anything .. it's all an illusion.
That's a reasonable response to eliminativism when applied to the common sense concepts such as free will, in my opinion. The next step in denying the reality of free will is to deny the sense of responsibility that we normally take for our actions, because that must also be an illusion. It just widens the hole that eliminativists have dug themselves into.
