You're basically right. What I meant with my analogy is that ANT+ sensors can broadcast to multiple computers at the same time, like a radio, whereas BT sensors can only talk to one computer at a time.
That distinction is very important to some (few) people, and not at all important to others. But it's worth being aware of in case you're in the group it's important to.
