So I take it that nobody openly supports the idea that the earth bound
twin physically ages at a faster rate than the traveler and that this

I think this is the most popular nonsense, yes. However, you can also
design a scenario where both twins travel with identical mission
profile where the amount and the duration of acceleration is the
same. The effect due to acceleration should then cancel out with only
the speed effect remaining. The mathematics of the Lorentz transform
dictates the time dilation effect must be symmetrical.

I like to think - although having been the recipient of a high school
drop kick as the result of my lazy and disruptive attitude and being
mathematically challenged to the extreme with an almost non-existent
education in the subject of physics - that my challenge to that
attempted negation of the paradox was successful.

There are several different proposed resolutions to the twin's paradox
including the one that just ignore the Lorentz transform. All of them
are contradicting each other. There is no single consensus on a valid
resolution. This issue is very fundamental and very simple, and yet
it baffles the physicists for more than 100 years. It is amazing that
peer pressure and religion faith shape the development of physics in
the past one hundred years or so. <shrug>

I guess it must feel so good to be an Einstein dingleberry in stead of
doing research in physics. <shrug>
