But the problem of back-to-back requests isn't really that Siri doesn't go away. It's that having made your request, you can't really review the output because while Siri is listening VoiceOver refuses to talk. And if you dismiss Siri by asking it to sod off—an absurd requirement, in any event—then it will take your results with it as it goes.
So thanks but no thanks Apple for an incredibly stupid feature that can only really be of any benefit if you are doing the simplest possible things given the dysfunction of Siri generally and its extremely limited capacity for understanding requests in particular. That always-on misfeature and changing the default trigger to "Siri" instead of "Hey Siri" really do speak to an unbelievable hubris on the part of some manager somewhere.
