Yes.

No.  That is, this is one meaning of the word "babble", but in this
context "babble" means the device was still transmitting when the host
expected it to stop.  In other words, the device sent a larger packet
than the host expected, like a 64-byte packet when the host expected 
only 18 bytes, or a 3-byte packet when the host expected only 2 bytes.
