None of the academics writing answers in either of these physics.stackexchange threads (one referencing the other) seem to be able to provide a satisfactory explanation of the Twins Paradox:

But, predictable responses to this Relativity Challenge do receive good coverage.  A whimsical overview of these arguments are addressed in the satire Relativity Facepalm.
