Well, usually, but not necessarily, because it is always possible to decide not to think about what you are doing, and no-one will know that you are not thinking.
Free will includes the freedom to not think before acting, although that is not the norm (I hope!).
The point is that observers cannot observe your thinking, only your actions.
Can you 'decide' without thinking?
If you act without thought is that a willful action, a potential instance of free will?
What of your 'biological free will' that requires deliberation as opposed to 'habit or instinct' ?
I don't see ho YOU can call action without intentional thought 'free will.
