In V&S's study, subjects in the AFW condition [those having read Crick's view that free will is an illusion] reported weaker free will beliefs (M = 13.6, SD = 2.66) than subjects in the control condition [Crick's "neutral text"] (M = 16.8, SD = 2.67). So, I'm going to do something like, you know, Dan Dennett wrote this book “Elbow Room” on, I think the subtitle was “On the varieties of freewill worth wanting”. Elbow Room: The Varieties of Free Will Worth Wanting is a near exemplar of intellectual investigation.
