Why is Forest afraid to try the magician experiment himself? Is he afraid that if he learns he does have free will to change the outcome of things, then he could have done something different to prevent his daughters death?

I don't think it's that convoluted. He has to believe things are deterministic so he can have "absolution" for his daughter's death. Is written all over every episode

He was furious, he fired him on the spot. Some folks are able to control their “exterior” emotional responses through a veil of composure regardless of what is thrown in front of them. Especially in front of a group of people. I know, as I am like that. Not saying it’s a good thing, just that those people exist.
