You are absolutely correct in your descriptions.
However, alot of people don't believe these descriptions to be the case. They feel that if a stock is going to hover (say, CPQ at 25), then selling a covered call is NOT a short play since they are making money on the stock even if it (possibly) goes to 25 1/4. While the call can be executed, it isn't likely to be if it was bought far enough in advance and the buyer lost the premium.

It's a very strange world, options-wise...but technically you're correct.
