Why is it that my Google Home speaker can understand “Meh Groovle” and “Fey Rupal” from 100 feet away, and spring instantly to life, but its reaction to “Hey Google, stop,” when I want it to stop playing something, is to completely ignore me repeatedly.

Just getting ready for "I'm sorry Peter, I'm afraid I can't do that."
Exactly why I ditched Google for Alexa
Well, if you're like me and saying it while the song is blaring, Google's facing an obvious signal-to-noise disadvantage. Unless you're a soprano yelling to stop to a famous bass oratorio to accompaniment by tuba, then with the frequency separation and AI familiarity with the tune, then I suppose YMMV.
