I guess because you don’t know what “time evolution of the universe” means you naturally reduced my definition to terms you can grasp. But you are leaving out the crucial part. “Choice” is a word that has meaning even in deterministic views, where it is still recognized that there is a process of debate going on in one’s head, even if it is illusory. In that case, it is still referred to as choosing. The difference, what makes it free will, is when that process of choosing actually affects (as opposed to apparently affects) the time evolution of the universe–but, as you say, you don’t know what that means.
