This isn't a compromise, it's my way or the highway! You don't seem to understand, I am telling you that there is no other valid choice other than the way I have it laid out in my diagram. That is the geometry of distance and time, as defined. This is not smoke and mirrors using a box of band-aids to keep alive a pet theory, these are the facts of distance and time.
Then prove it. Stop dancing the I'm-right-you're-wrong dance, and develop the math for us to see.
Because even though you are unilaterally declaring special relativity to be a theory with band-aids, that does not make it so.
The Michaelson-Morley experiment speaks directly to your hypothesis and diagram ... and discharges both.
Always remember that it only takes one inconvenient fact to destroy an otherwise beautiful theory.
But "I'm right because I say so" is not unfamiliar in this forum, and just because you are not defending the usual set of ideas that comes with that challenge ... does not make your posture any more palatable. cn
