yes, you do not seem to use it correctly.
No reason to jump to the conclusion that you give in the subject
of this posting ... which is hilariously wrong!
You don't really think that a quality software like R has had nls()
and nls.control(), and nls.control() would never have worked for all
those years and tens of thousands of users ???
Please get to your senses, and first read the posting guide (*)
