both of you are making the same point. If a router is an NSSA ASBR and ABR,
it has the choice of advertising externals into both, or one of the
connected areas (in theory) This command is simply allowing this external
information to be shield from the stub area if you desire it to be which is
the point both of you seem to have made.
