What if when they say that “X stand can stop time for Y number of seconds”, they mean that time actually just slows to an insanely low speed and the user can do whatever they want in an infinite amount of time and by the time that they resume time then it’ll be more like just Y amount of seconds passing (which explains DIO’s long monologues lasting far longer than just 10 seconds and Star Platinum’s slow decrease in time control maybe lending itself to age)
