You are wrong. Almost all of what I said are correct. Also since you agree
with what I said then you must realize that there is no such thing as time
dilation. Instead of time dilation the traveling muon's clock second is
worth (gamma)(earth clock second). BTW that's the reason why all observers
measure the speed of light to be a constant math ratio as follows:
Light path length of ruler (299,792,458m long physically)/the absolute time
content for a clock second co-moving with the ruler.

Yes of course.
