You can't interpret facts to be not facts,
but you can interpret facts.

The measured facts are:
The measured mean lifetime of a stationary muon is 2.2 μs
The measured mean lifetime of a muon moving at 0.999668⋅c is 85.36 μs.

THESE ARE FACTS, not interpretations of FACTS!

I am asking YOU to interpret these FACTS.

The SR interpretation is that it is "time dilation".

You claim that it is easy to explain these FACTS without
using an illogical fiction divorced from physics.

What is your logical explanation ?

If you flee the question yet again, I will ask you yet again.
