Paul: Equating time with the reading of a clock wouldn't be acceptable
to most employers; it's so stupid. Therefore, when clocks run
differently under different circumstances, we properly understand this
is an instrumental error, as when a pendulum clock must be adjusted to
various lengths for different latitudes. That does not require
relativity. Some clocks run slower at less gravity (sand and pendulum
clocks) while some run faster (battery-powered and atomic), so this is
not time itself changing.

If a clock doesn't change its rate when time dilates, everything doesn't
change in unison. Therefore, it is not time dilation. It is only a
change in some rates of change.
