Lenght of the stub can be really critical, drill too deep and your circuit
is toast, don't drill deep enough and your circuit is not optimized.
I did a lot of work on absolute z axis drill depth to ensure drill stop at
target layer every time, and it was not an easy concept, since you cannot
"measure things" and the position of the target player changes slightly from
board to board.

Ken,
When designing a PCB, the engineers talk about "Stubs" as a "T" in the
signal route.

o This is a "Stub" or "T".
Depending on the frequency ( rising edge) of the signal, reflections could
create false triggering of the circuit.
Stubs are impossible to design out 100%, think about pin escapes, or
wire bonds
on the IC itself. However, the length of the stub is can be critical.
Do some google searches on signal integrity or high speed design.
Hope this helps,
Dave
