FAR Part 1.1. As long as the captain is the designated PIC, he logs it.

If I designate myself captain of a 172 and my buddy flies it, can I log PIC?
you're a smart dude and I usually enjoy bantering with you. stand on the strength of your argument rather than attack someone else's experience.
1.1 covers who IS pilot in command, not who can LOG pilot in command. They're different.
You can only LOG pilot in command when you're sole manipulator of an airplane your rated in, sole occupant, OR acting as pilot in command in an aircraft that requires two pilots under the regulations in which it's operated.
