I'm with this reply. You are entitled to interpret rules to your best advantage.
If nothing untoward ever occurs where the Safety Pilot has to intervene there will never be an issue. If something did happen where the Safety Pilot had to intervene you are in a far better position as a trained pilot than someone who had perhaps done a
'pinch hitter' course knowing just enough to get the aircraft safely back on the ground.
