SR is merely an interpretation to the Lorentz transform. So, it is a
really a moot point to go further with SR. However, the math involved
is the Lorentz transform where it specifies WITHOUT EXCEPTION that any
moving frame regardless in acceleration or not will be observed to be
time dilated by anyone, anywhen, and anywhere. <shrug>

The flaw is in jumping frame and allowed the mathemagic tricks to be
played while doing that and thus violating the Lorentz transform.

Furthermore, the confusion lends itself through two different
transforms that are similar but behave drastically differently in
principle. From history, the first transform satisfying
electromagnetism (other than the Galilean in which light is modeled as
pure classical particles) to explain the null results was the Voigt
transform in 1887. The second one was Larmor's transform right around
the time when Teddy Roosevelt charged up the San Juan Hills in Cuba
sparking the building of the American Empire. Both the Voigt and
Larmor's transforms do not satisfy the principle of relativity, and
thus there is no twins' paradox to speak of. Lorentz finally realized
there are indeed an infinite such transforms that will explain the
null results of the MMX and electromagnetism. All these transform
cannot satisfy the principle of relativity. Poincare was the one who
saw the way how Larmor's transform is written where any two observers
are moving in parallel relative to the stationary background of the
Aether can be rewritten to show a complete elimination of the absolute
frame of reference, and Larmor's transform becomes the Lorentz
transform in this case. However, that is indeed very misleading. In
general, the Lorentz transform is not valid. For a better
mathematical understanding, see the link below.

NO . it is not. You cannot derive from that that "time for both systems
cannot be dilated with respect to each other" THAT is you assumption. I
have shown it to be false.

You really are not very good at logical reasoning.

No, but I haven't really looked. But I guess it makes sense.
From the point of view of SR, it is clear that the traveling
twin is different from the stay-at-home twin, since he is in
a noninertial coordinate system. But if you generalize to allow
*any* coordinate system (inertial or not) then you have to explain
what's wrong with viewing the traveling twin at rest.

But it's not really a paradox with GR, either, since GR doesn't
use the Lorentz transforms to relate noninertial coordinate systems.

It's hard for me to see how the "twin paradox" is a paradox in any
sense other than being a surprising result.

I thought KW was suggesting that Einstein used GR as a *solution* to the
paradox. I was responding to the idea that GR was a solution (whether or not
Einstein viewed it as such).

1905 paper has the first exposition of the twins paradox (though not
in the currently frames words) .. of a pair of clocks at rest, then
one moves away and returns and shows a shorter elapsed time

No GR involved there.

Or are you talking now of some other paradox?
