Default Mobile phone bluetooth question

On the bluetooth options you have "visibility" that you can turn on or off, what is the point of having it turned off?

I think the feature mentioned means you have bluetooth ON but if someone searches for poeople who have bluetooth on you wouldn't come up, yet it is still actually on!

My mate had it turned on while he was on the train, and a lady he'd been eyeballing all journey sent him a message via bluetooth letting him know his flies were undone. He wished he'd been left in his ignorance!!
