Russell, No, it's exactly the same, not the opposite. You are misinterpreting it and reading it wrongly. I see your error now, though as stated I agree it could be misread.
"one and only one point in clock time" does not mean over the whole world line the clock time is the same. It means that for every point on the world line there is one and only one point in clock time associated with that point (with the exception of light), AND the fact that the STc Principle requires a continual movement along that world line means that everything is only at one point in the world line and thus has the single unique clock time associated with that point, and that clock time is the real and actual reading of its clock in the present moment. That's the falsification of block time because it requires motion through spacetime...
