ctime is not the creation time. It's the inode modification time.
Except that st_ino
Number of the information node (the inode) for the file (UNIX-specific). "On UNIX file systems, the inode describes the file date and time stamps, permissions, and content.... The inode, and therefore st_ino, has no meaning in the FAT, HPFS, or NTFS file systems."
And "lpCreationTime (out, optional)
A pointer to a FILETIME structure to receive the date and time the file or directory was created."
Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
