No, it does not. The expression "time dilation" has its own meaning
that does not follow from the meanings of "time" and "dilation".

That does not follow from logic or anything mentioned above.

Re: "Relativity is perfectly compatible with elementary and advanced
logic,"
You have only made an assertion while I have explained how.

"That does not prevent us from talking about it."
That was not my argument.

"No, it does not. The expression "time dilation" has its own meaning
that does not follow from the meanings of "time" and "dilation"."
How mystifying! Pray, tell what it means!

That time does not dilate follows from the fact that it is an
abstraction. Since time is a comparison of rates of change, it involves
a standard unit of measure that cannot dilate. Just as meters do not
dilate time does not.
