The reason you're having a hard time accepting this is that you have constructed your own definition of logging PIC which doesn't match the regulations. We're offering you an opportunity to gain a higher level of knowledge, but you'll have to drop your preconceptions first.

The difference between the two has been well documented for a long time by the FAA. There are
tons of interpretations from the General Counsel's Office endorsing the concept, so it's not BS as far as the FAA is concerned.
If you disagree, then please offer some evidence to support your point of view. You claimed that Part 135 regulations forbade logging of PIC time in this situation, but you have provided no references in support of that contention. I don't believe that such references exist. On the other hand, I have cited the appropriate regulation (61.51) and given you a letter of interp from the FAA. Please explain why these are insufficient for you.
