Using conventional meanings of words, it most definitely is an explanation for
different path lengths

Path length does not define elapsed time. shrug

The twin paradox is the same: the traveling twin traveled less distance through
spacetime than did the homebound twin. For such (timelike) paths, clocks measure
the path length traveled, just like the odometers in the previous paragraph. Of
course there are differences, and the analogy is not perfect, but they are in
the details, not the principle.

The issue is about the elapsed time. You don’t understand the issue.
In doing so, you are just throwing all sorts of garbage out hoping to
continue your mysticism in SR. shrug

There are none so blind as those who refuse to look.

Like Tom refuses to acknowledge the issue of the twins’ paradox is the
elapsed time. No spacetime, no path length, etc. shrug

There are none so deaf as those who refuse to listen.

Like Tom refuses to listen and continue to embrace mysticism. shrug

There are none so stupid as those who refuse to think.

Just how difficult is it to understand the issue at hand under the
twins’ paradox is about elapsed time? Stupidity definitely is the
culprit. shrug
