Let us understand each other (a moment of optimism).
The immense, the incomparable, the fantastic relativist theorist
(that's me) wrote: "If two different observers travel an identical
path in equal observable times, then their proper times will necessarily
be equal.The no less immense, incomparable, and fantastic international Python critic refutes.
I set the problem up using excel. For the ships to arrive together at
the same time when viewed in the earth frame, the second ship must
accelerate at 10 m/sec^2. The proper time (ship's time) will take
1.3632 years. The constant-v ship's time is 4.7746 years, so their
proper times are NOT equal.

The "improper" clocks in orbit keep proper time only on earth. In
orbit, or on the moon or on Mars,
they're improper. Wozzie always seems to ignore inconvenient truths.

J'ai rien compris.
Quelle surprise !

Can you help further explain for the rest of us why this isn't
necessarily the usual interpretation or why it sort of doesn't arrive at
the same results of some of the usual thought experiments like the
traveling twins?

In the twins scenario, twins does not share the same space-time path.
