Yes, this is fine as I said I didn't care if you use BT/acceleration or 'instant inertial speed' to get to non-accelerated motion.

Yes, this is what you are taught. The
Focus has always been on 'turn around time' and time dilation and the ages of the twins compared to one another and ALL the Maths that go into determining that!!!
BUT, for that to be "real", the 'assumption' that either observer can be considered to be 'at rest' or 'in motion' MUST be 'real' also!
So explain how ALL the 'Earth Rest Frame" observers, constantly verifying that the Earth is traveling the same speed it always has going around our Sun, and our Earth/Sun going around the Milky Way, that earths speed is "Suddenly Altered" to travel at ALL those different speeds that those "At Rest" Rocket observers "Supposedly Think" they are seeing...
Me thinks that ALL those Rocket observers are seeing "Invisible Pink Monkeys"
If ANY traveling Rocket Observer is NOT observing 'Confirmation' that the Earth is traveling around the Sun at it's normal speed, THEN traveing Rocket observers cannot see "Reality"......period!
