Am I wrong here?

I dont think you're wrong...but then I do the same thing
Plus when you're at cruise the a/p is doing all the work and if the smallest thing goes wrong or a question comes up my CPs always come get me. I wont even lay down if I think there's weather up ahead...and of course you are in the seat for every takeoff, landing and air refueling.
As for "other" time I subtract it from total time but count it in my PIC time. I know that technically if I continue to fly w/3 or more pilots I would eventually end up with more PIC time than total time but I think I could easily explain it in an interview...and more importantly I dont foresee that happening....
