Your personal interpretation of FAA regs notwithstanding, not correct if you're logging by FAA criteria for the purposes for FAA record-keeping. Just in case you had trouble reading it before, again, from 61.51..

(1) A person may log instrument time only for that flight time when the person operates the aircraft solely by reference to instruments under actual or simulated instrument flight conditions.
Easy.

Just because Instrument time is logged differently elsewhere doesn't change the FAA's criteria. No use arguing about it.
