Question Logging PIC

OK, I know I'm re-opening a can of worms that has been stirred many times, but now I find myself in the same boat with questions as I prepare my Netjets application.
Far 61.51 states the following:

(e) Logging pilot-in-command flight time. (1) A recreational, private, or commercial pilot may log pilot-in- command time only for that flight time during which that person --

(i) Is the sole manipulator of the controls of an aircraft for which the pilot is rated;

(ii) Is the sole occupant of the aircraft; or

(iii) Except for a recreational pilot, is acting as pilot in command of an aircraft on which more than one pilot is required under the type certification of the aircraft or the regulations under which the flight is conducted.

(2) An airline transport pilot may log as pilot-in-command time all of the flight time while acting as pilot-in-command of an operation requiring an airline transport pilot certificate.

Based on this, can I, as an ATP, SIC type-rated CRJ pilot, log as PIC all the legs I have flown from the left seat. I am the "sole manipulator" of the flight controls true, but as the "sole manipulator", am I also "acting as pilot in command"?
Thanks
