It says "establish in advance." If one is aware in advance, one has established the outcomes in advance. They are set in stone and not subject to change. 

This is predeterminism.

If he is unbound by time, and was there when it happened (so he knows), it's not because he pre-established the outcome, but because it already happened.

Not a very solid foundation you're on. You're basically saying since he has one option to view decisions in a non-temporal manner, that negates his ability to view them in one. An omniscient being would view them in every manner; as such, the temporal view is certainly subject to the same logical statements I've presented.

Simple example:

Milk or OJ <-- your illusion of choice, the ominscient being already knows you've chosen one of them. You cannot choose a different one than is already known.
