I was going to post the Rod Machado reference prior, so here it goes...

Rod Machado's Learn to Fly Page
Which also says that in ordre to log PIC the safety pilot must act as PIC. Quite correct. And talks about the safety pilot logging SIC.

Riddle me this:

How can you log PIC as safety pilot based on a reg that says:
==============================
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. 61.51(e)(1)(iii)
==============================

and not log SIC under a reg that says:

==============================
and more than one pilot is required under the type certification of the aircraft or the regulations under which the flight is being conducted. 61.51(f)(2)
==============================
