They will not understand what you mean, being really
brainwashed.
Talking to them is like talking to a wall (no pun
intended!).
They will not realize that the CMBR must be taken
into consideration, see for instance

Actually, no it doesn't NEED to be taken into consideration, any more
than the Sun needs to be taken into consideration, or the center of
the galaxy needs to be taken into consideration, or any other
arbitrarily chosen artifact of the universe needs to be taken into
consideration.

Even if the SR analysis of the twin paradox were
right, which it is not, because it doesn't take the
Earth's velocity relative to the CMBR, Occam's
razor (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occam%27s_razor)
"recommends selection of the hypothesis that introduces
the fewest assumptions and postulates the fewest
entities while still sufficiently answering the
question".

Whereas there is no paradox at all when the CMBR
is taken into consideration
(cf. http://pagesperso-orange.fr/mluttgens/twinpdx1.htm),
SRists have a lot of different explanations, see

Relative motion is a motion between TWO bodies, and a THIRD entity
(like the CMBR) does not NEED to be taken into account. I don't know
why you think relative velocity DOES need to take into account a third
body.

Sorry, but now you're grasping at straws.
Note that YOUR idea involves more assumptions, including a dependence
of relative velocity on an arbitrarily chosen third entity in the
universe, the CMBR.

Just because you have a hard time understanding SR, does NOT mean that
it involves more complicated assumptions or postulates. There are only
two assumptions in SR. Two.

Yes, they are all different ways of saying the same thing. This is not
unusual in physics. Take a look at the classical Atwood machine, for
example. You can explain the behavior of that system by using Newton's
2nd law. You can also explain the behavior of that system using energy
conservation. You can also explain the behavior of that system using
momentum conservation. They all work, and all freshman students become
familiar with that. There does not have to be one and only one way to
analyze a physical system.

The TWO bodies are not isolated in the universe, which is ignored
by SRT.

SR is based on a pure mathematical concept, and wholly neglects the
fact that its objects are physically linked to the whole universe.

Only two, that's why SR is wrong.

A false analogy!
The fact is that nothing can be considered independently of the
rest of the universe. You seem to have a "hard time" realizing this.
