I have come to the conclusion that Craig is smarter than I am.

We do have evidence of relativistic time dilation/length contraction
on macroscopic objects. Clocks on orbiting satellites and spacecraft
tick slightly faster than those on the earths surface, and the
difference is measurable.
Yes, they calibrate them slow to account for the fact that they will run
faster on orbit. But the primary effect is General Relativity, not Special
Relativity: a clock in a different gravitational potential (aka height)
will run differently. Some frequency standards are getting so accurate now
that you can almost tell the difference between a clock on the ground
floor of a building and one at the top.
