I acknowledge that you are not alone in your thinking, and not crazy
for thinking it.  How common your critique is, I am not sure...not for
any flaw in your position, but because it's not the main one I've
heard, and many who voice said main critique seem to think no further,
thus they do not share your reasoning.

Said main critique is, "superdeterminism means there is no such thing
as free will, so none of us are responsible for our actions".  They
repeat this even when I explain how there is potential room for free
will, at least in my version.

I do appreciate that your position is rather more well thought out than that.
