Yes, Hodge, pendulum clock and atomic clocks are fundamentally different - first one is a "slave" to the local gravitational field and the second one is  a "slave" to the quantum transition and Doppler effect. These are totally different physical processes. This is why the "Twin Paradox" does not have universal single physical process supporting its basic premise.
     I have underscored in many of my papers that physics thinking needs to be re-anchored to visualizing the invisible interaction processes going in nature. Go to my UConn physics website to download the papers of your interests. Or. my book from Amazon, "Causal Physics".

Consider the "clock" used in the experiments to be a pendulum clock. horizontal acceleration stops the bob, clock time in terms of ticks is slowed (stopped). A pendulum clock raised to a height is also slowed. Without a gravitational field, it stops.
Is there a  difference between this a pendulum  clock and atomic clocks?  We have a good model of a pendulum clock's functioning in relation to gravity and acceleration.  We don't have a good model for the decay or the lengthening of muon life.
Perhaps, the observations of decay and muon life are data related to the respective mechanisms rather than time dilation.
