However, during the turning-around period, the traveling twin is very far away from his stationary brother so the idea that "enough strangeness" is somehow produced during the turning-around period and this "enough strangeness" miraculously affects the distant stat

even if
 Twin B
was 12 inches
above
Twin A...
you get the same results.
