Obviously nothing is perfect, so a real freewheel ends up somewhere in the middle, but it can't give the same amount of feedback as a fixed gear, otherwise it wouldn't be a freewheel.
Not only do you have no cycling experience but you can't even think about this problem rationally.
the more perfect the freewheel the more you can feel the difference between a tire slipping and the freewheel slipping. Maybe if you had a massless wheel suspended in a vacuum with a perfectly efficient freewheel you would have a point but now we're back to discussing how asinine your argument is.
