Wouldn't there be two other choices for your conjecture?
He could have literally stopped the sun in the sky or allegorically stopped the rotation of the earth ...
Then of course BOTH must be a consideration.
And I am not sure of what your actual point it.
So Ill bite just out of curiosity and go with "He literally stopped the sun in the sky." ...
the sun doesn’t move though our sky and you know it. When presented with irrefutable evidence of allegorical pronouncement in the Bible you lack the intellectual honesty to admit it. Once you accept allegory in Joshua, you must accept it as possible elsewhere.
Go feast on the four-legged,winged creatures referenced in leviticus, if you can find one.
