Hmm, Ron, you are usually precise in your statements, but, assuming you
meant 61.51 below, I don't see anything that contradicts my statement.

Where in 61.51 does it say anybody (instructor or not) can log PIC
because they are acting as PIC? There are two specific instances
(ATP and multipilot operation). Otherwise you have to meet one of
the other requirements.

I assumed we were talking about safety pilot for a pilot who is wearing
a view-restricting device, so the flight falls under the "more than one
pilot required" clause.

Your quote said "Any time you are either acting as PIC ..."

ATP not operating under FAR 135 or 121 actually can log PIC
the same as any commercial pilot, the must be flying. But
under 121, an ATP assigned as Captain [PIC] can log PIC
while sleeping in the crew bunk room.

Also, ATPs without a CFI can only instruct under 135 or 121
in operations called for in those parts.
