You're right. Seto always has a canned response to mutual time dilation
problems that read like: "No it is not possible....How can you have mutual 
time dilation when a B second is worth gamma seconds on the A clock 
BETWEEN MEETINGS?" [emphasis mine].  If he thinks there are more than one
meeting in mutual time dilation situations, he simply doesn't understand 
mutual time dilation, or confuses it with the travelling twin gedanken.
