The regs are just fine, people just need to do a better job of understanding them. Insurance and "Ops Specs" have no bearing whatsoever on who can or cannot log SIC time, and I should hope that no examiner would use them to determine such a thing. The FAA FARs are the only way to determine this, as I explained in my post above.
