You could improve your explanation some by rephrasing this part:FactChecker said:I wouldn't call it my analysis, since I am trying to explain the flaw in the analysis of those who are confused by the Twins Paradox.
There's no such thing as "remaining in" in a reference frame (in SR everything is always in all frames everywhere) and "their own reference frame" is a misleading way of saying “using a frame in which they are at rest”. Without this sloppy terminology it is difficult to even state the paradox - we find ourself saying something like “using the inertial frame in which the traveling twin is at rest throughout the journey” and the flaw becomes obvious.As long as both twins remain in their own inertial reference frame...
