not following this.

but it amused me:

>(Org maintainer's) inquiry rarely works.

while it can definitely read that way, to me as a native speaker at least,
it is reasonably ok, although ambiguous.  it is saying, somewhat casually,
that in rare cases it is /needed/ for the org maintainer to intervene and
he or she does so successfully or so.  removing ambiguity would  help, but
nto a huge deal.

apropos of nothing, ambiguity should be eliminated from medical textbooks
and papers.  "rarely, ...." can be interpreted like, it's rare so look for
horses not zebras [neglecting that zebras exist], or it's rare but consider
it and find out more about it, or various other things.
