I think the difference johnny is hammering home is the difference between acting as PIC and logging it. Same deal as an instructor doing instrument/commercial training with a student. Even though the student is logging PIC (manipulator of controls), instructor is PIC (making decisions, FAA comes after him if something goes wrong)
All PIC goes into the same collumn of the logbook
