You say you aren't claiming that, and then in literally the next
sentence you claim that.  (And that claim of yours is, once again,
false.)

It is getting increasingly difficult to discern your argument from one
made in simple bad faith.

A further sign of possible bad faith on your part is that you
repeatedly attack a strawman: despite my explicit declarations that
superdeterminism - at least, as I use the term - is not some sort of
animism, your counterexamples declare that I mean that something
inanimate (photons, the universe, et al) "knows" stuff and consciously
acts on it.

(For instance, that it deliberately attempts to fool you.  It's
inanimate.  The only entity in the loop capable of fooling you is you.
The data is what it is; the measurements are what they are.
Interpretation - and potentially coming to the wrong conclusion - is
entirely up to you.)

Try stating your objection without that declaration, and you might get
closer to understanding the position I am actually favoring.

If your reply to this once again asserts that superdeterminism means
that inanimate things "know" things and consciously act on that
knowledge, then I'm going to have to ask ExiMod to step in, because at
that point you will have proven that you are arguing in bad faith.
