You can get angry at that child all you want for not making the "choice" you want, or not putting in the effort you expect. It's not gonna do a whole lotta good without substantive action.

You were correct I should I have free will not agency. I'm referring to adults here not children

If I put you, an adult, in a situation for which you lack the training, should I then get angry at you for failing?
