I've read over stub routing in the OCG the other day, but didn't really get my head around it. I was going to ask, but I don't like asking silly questions, so I googled.
If anyone finds it useful, I found a post on the internet which helped me to understand it:
EIGRP Stub Routing – Astorino Networks
It doesn't really say anything more than the OCG, but for some reason the way it is put there helped it sink in.
Now to go play with it in the lab!
