Well, you don't understand welding. The stuff I make has to be
installed on the job site by a certain time. They are more concerned
about installation than inspecting. Now if you are making structural
steel for California, then it is different, but that is not what I am
making.

n' is correct time for a moving clock. t' is correct time for the
Galilean transformation equations. There is no clock in S' that shows
t'.

No, the Galilean transformation equations show a slow clock in the
moving frame and a fast clock in the frame of reference at rest. If
you invert the frames, the clock in S' is still slower.

Well, you are certainly welcome to your own opinion. If you don't
like the Galilean transformation equations, why don't you just use the
Lorentz equations?
It seems that you believe the Lorentz equations must be enforced.

How does time itself differ from what a clock says?
Time can be measured by hourglasses, clocks, rotation, etc., So when
are you going to define what time is?
