In a typical collision the interaction first compresses both bodies and

My intent was not to demonstrate what needn't be demostrated, only that
your reasoning involves false assumptions. Those whose opöinion matters
believe in Newtons's third law until otherwise is proven and, so it more
than enough to point out that you have not proven.
