There is no provision for the pilot acting as PIC to log PIC in this
case. Only the flying pilot would be able to log PIC. The only way you
can log PIC is per 61.51(e). In this case the guy serving as PIC does
not meet the requirements of a "required crew member" since the
aircraft is legal to fly IFR with just one pilot (the fact that that
pilot isn't qualified doesn't change that).

Yes, I see that, and that certainly seems to be the consensus of everyone
offering help here. So, I will conform ;-)

I just have a different interpretation of 61.51 (e) (1) (iii), because
in my opinion, the pilot not flying is required under the FARs due to
the fact that the pilot flying isn't current for IMC.

I've tried pretty hard to make my case and no ones buying it, so I'll
concede that my interpretation is incorrect.

It was a lot of fun discussing it in any event ;-)
