Reviewing aria-atomic="false"

The container below has been set with aria-live="assertive" and aria-atomic="false".

• Action: After 8 seconds, a message will be injected into the container below.
• Result: Only newly injected content inside the container should be announced immediately.

Example

If a screen reader is focused on announcing this paragraph, will the dynamically injected message above affect the announcement of this paragraph? This is how we can determine whether dynamic information is announced immediately, at the next graceful opportunity, or not at all.
