Remember, the reciprocal views of clocks in relative motion has, to my knowledge, never been experimentally verified.
SR also predicts the observation of a slow clock in the stationary frame when viewed from the moving frame.
Imatfaal,I agree there is no paradox, but what are you saying about the final age difference ? It is not clear
Twinstayathome and his clock,his grey hairs, his infeasibly long beard etc all show that 14ish years have passed, Twinspaceman and his clock and all other measures show that two years have passed. there are complications because the time dilation factor isn't constant during speed ups and slow downs but the errors brought in by those are minimal.
What do you think will be observed from each position?
