A question about the equivalence principle.

[..] When we compare twins side by side and observe differential ageing, that is as real as it gets, as far as time dilation is concerned.
Surely we all agree on that; it's different from the case that you discussed in which their ages are not compared side by side. Why did you find that case bizarre?
