In almost all cases where you want a message discarded, you do not want any further tests applied to that message. "stop" informs the system of that. It has no effect on any other message.
Basically, after any action that affects a message (discard, fileinto etc.) you should decide whether your processing of that particular message is over. If so, use "stop". Failing to do so can lead to very surprising results as the message is examined by later tests.
