Well, the device knows exactly what signal it's putting out through the speaker, so it can predict what the microphone will pick up. It doesn't know what someone with a hoarse voice is about to say.

That attack described in the video isn't something the phone is producing and picking up (most phones already ignore what they playback), but rather a sound played by a laptop picked up by the phone.

And further, the attack described is a sentence that doesn't sound to a human like "Ok Google" or "Hey Siri", or whatever

Okay, that's what I didn't understand. Thanks.
