Yes, that’s the ultimate argument against determinism. Either one actually sincerely believe in determinism and trying to convince someone else they are wrong about free-will are just displaying their inability to take their hypothesis to its full conclusion, or they are just trying to dispel their own doubts by bending other people opinions.
You can always choose to believe free choice does exist. In fact it's almost mandatory to do so just to get by.
Congrats, you got the joke! (Not being sarcastic.)
