That's an *introductory* discussion of relativity.

An introductory lesson in relativity.

All of your examples are introductory lessons in relativity.

No, I said that two approaches are misleading: The approach that
says "Moving clocks run slow" and the approach that says "The
strange predictions of relativity are artifacts of a peculiar
procedure for synchronizing clocks".

The approach that is not misleading is to focus on physical
predictions, where a physical prediction is a prediction that
does not depend on a particular choice of coordinate system.
