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 statio

There is no reason why
Twin B flies quickly to a distant star
and Twin A stays on earth...

Twin B can simply be atop a mountain..

and get the same results.
