I can't find any gray in that part of 61.56(d). Where's the confusion?
What is an operating privelege? Does an SIC PC count?

I'm not saying it doesn't, but legally the fed could interpret that any way they like. I have enough experience with law to know that this reg (like many FARs) is weak and open to interpretation. Remember this is not criminal or civil law where the tie goes to the runner...the grey area usually goes to the feds.
