The assumptions are not supported by current rates of known uplifts. Its all fantasy.

Which known uplifts are you referring to? Name a few, please?

I'll help you with some known uplifts:

Iceland - 5 to 19 mm/year

Southern Tibet - 16 mm/year

Southeast Alaska - 32 mm/yr

The biggest uplift rate I know about is the intermittent uplift of the Yellowstone Caldera, at 7 cm/year, but that's being caused by volcanic forces rather than plate tectonics.

...and, since you’re in “the know” and all, what exactly are the rates of uplifts of basalt flows at this spot?
