I strongly suspect this is false. Most R functions have options to
deal with NA, alas, not consistently though.
See, e.g.  ?na.omit  . For manual processing, see ?NA (of course!).

However, replacing NA's with 0's is dangerous. It may also be
scientifically/statistically flawed; although properly dealing with
missing data can be a very difficult issue.
