"So if you plant a garden you are trying to control the dirt and vegetables? If you paint a picture you are trying to control paint? There are many things we DO that are not about control but do in effect as well as affect the outcome. But let's assume it all IS control. Let's assume we are actually capable of complete control. Let's assume we are in fact creating and thereby controlling EVERYTHING~~~Then what???"

That's not altering an effect; it's controlling a cause. You're just not getting it, that's all. One day you will, I hope, I think.
Anything that "affects" an outcome (an effect) is a "cause". You can only alter or prevent cause but it is impossible to control effects. If you plant a tree and pour acid on it, that's a cause, and you cannot alter the effect of the acid being poured on it. You can create another cause and attempt to feed the tree, nurture it, clean up the acid, (all causes) but the effects of any cause can never be controlled. Only cause can be controlled. Cause begins with each individual's intention. Always.
Cause and effect, it's quite simple.
