No doubt someone will correct me if I am wrong, but I am led to understand that in civil long haul operations the PIC logs time, even when lying flat on the crew rest bunk, as he/she is still "in command of the aircraft".
Instructors log time for sitting in the seat, when they may never actually touch the controls.
Short haul pilots will do multi sectors in the same time a long haul one drinks coffee and keeps an eye on the dials while the A/P cruises the aircraft halfway round the world.
Surely logged time is very subjective as a means to assess experience ?
