Unfortunately, the question is "do you control the controller" not whether or not you control some, or even -all- of the functions of which you are aware. Unless you control that..it hardly matters what it controls.
I've defined my terms, though it's probably a page ago, now. You are treating the "you" and the "controller" as different entities, and demanding that the you be able to control the controller, or drop the idea of free will. But the "you" includes the controller, and all the systems connected to it.
