Of course the synonyms I underscore like "dominance" don't support your argument.



Actually they do.....dictionaries define 'dominate' as being controlling.

(Women complain of having over-controlling or domineering partners)

so again, control does not have to mean rigid robotic control like an RC truck

control can mean = influence , regulate, guide, lead, steer, direct,....

It's a little hard to tell.



I have made no mention of free will, my point is all about control/influence.

I can't finally capitulate to something I have not mentioned or not been debating with you.

Have you ever heard the term about someone having controlling influence over someone?

If being guided by someone, do they have a controlling influence ?
