Notice they mention that the company can fly an experimental aircraft as long as the pilot is the sole occupant and an EMPLOYEE of the company.

Came up with this letter with a quick Google search. As well as other people asking the same question about "renting" an aircraft with the same guidance you have been given by multiple people here.

Good luck on your quest for changing the regulation... But renting an aircraft does in fact mean that you have compensated the owner of the aircraft to be able to carry you as the pilot.
Again, not claiming to support the OP's position.

But the letter you cite is very specific about *primary kit-built* (not the same category as amateur built), and the complete quote is, 'Operation of your aircraft by a single pilot employed by the company carrying property owned by the company, for example, would be permitted.' Only one example of use, and I don't see anything about the pilot being sole occupant; just 'single pilot'.

The FAA's hairs get pretty finely split, and what seems to support an argument, often doesn't.
