They can maniplate the math to suit all situations. The true physical answer
is that the rate of a clock is dependent on the state of absolute motion of
the clock and acceleration will affect the state of absolute motion and thus
the rate of the clock. When a clock accelerated away it's absolute motion is
increased compared to the stay at home clock and that's reason why the
traveling clock runs at a slower rate. Also that's the reason why an
observer sees different clocks moving wrt him are running at different
rates. The reason is that these different clocks are in different states of
absolute motion compared to the observer's clock.
IRT (Improved Relativity Theory) in the following link (page 4) provides a
full explanation of this concept:
