Sir, the information you provided does not explain how ATC would not
be aware if the R airspace were hot or not. If the military scheduled
the airspace, ATC should assume it is hot, right?

Yes, if the military scheduled the airspace, ATC should assume it is
hot. If they wish to make sure, they should check their controllers
and see if anybody was coming or going. IOW, if scheduled it is "Hot"
and even if not active at this minute, one should assume that it will
be active momentarily. You won't get clearance through the airspace
under those conditions.
