Hrm... that sounds fishy, because it means whenever two pilots fly together,
they can both log all the time as PIC... whomever isn't physically flying can be
legally acting as PIC at the same time.

You are misinterpreting.

In the situation you are discussing, the pilot NOT flying can only log PIC
if two (2) pilots are required by the regulations (or by the type of a/c).
In the type of flights we generally engage in, the only time that occurs is
when a safety pilot is required.

So, although the pilot NOT flying may be acting as PIC, he may NOT be able
to log PIC time.
