No, it is untrue that they can't compare each other's clocks during the
trip. Video communications are not impossible so long as the speed of
both observers remains below c. But what's the point? The experiment
has nothing to do with whether or not they can tell each other's passed
time during the trip. It has only to do with the fact that if they
meet up again they will see the differences in their ages.
