Spaceman "explains" every relativistic experimental claim by asserting

His only "proof" is that the moving clock ran slower than the
stationary clock.  So, what's his point?

His point is that everybody should know that time is absolute, and if
the rate of a clock changes, it must have malfunctioned.

In other words, the proof that time is not relative is the "fact"
known to James Driscoll that time is absolute.  How does he know?  He
just knows, and that is all YOU have to know.

Curiously, however, every attempt to prove relativity false by
measurement is afflicted with malfunctioning clocks.  Why are all
these clocks malfunctioning?  Is it something in the mechanism?  What
about cosmic clocks, such as unstable cosmic ray particles?  What
about biological clocks, such as the aging of our bodies? It seems,
according to Spaceman, all clocks malfunction in the same way every
time.

If ALL clocks of any description "malfunction" in the same way EVERY
time they are measured, is that properly called a malfunction, or is
it a law of nature?

You decide.

If two odometers on cars traveling between Greenville and Columbia
record different distances, then the odometer is malfunctioning,
because the science of distance says that there is one distance
between Greenville and Columbia, and if those two don't agree, then it
is obvious that one of them is malfunctioning. Thousands of years of
distance science and billions of suns in the universe all show that
such is right. Scientific distance standards say that odometers should
measure according to a common standard and so should give the same
number. And it is in fact obvious exactly how one of them is
malfunctioning. It's the speed. Everybody knows that speed affects
odometers. If one of them hits a tree at high speed, the odometer
stops working. If you hit it at low speed, it still works. Speed
affects odometers.

PD

Whoops, almost forgot.

Sheesh.

So, instead of malfunctioning (which is most approprate for clocks that have mechanical failure and which cannot be predicted in a straightforward manner), you could instead say that clocks are *affected* by their motion - just as most clocks are affected by temperature without really "malfunctioning", and such that this can be calculated beforehand. ... do all malfunction as per Newton laws and of course Biological laws ...
