Late time mild inflation (LTMI) proposes to solve the age of the universe problem and the discrepancy between locally and globally measured values of the Hubble parameter. However, the mechanism proposed to achieve LTMI is found to be physically pathological by applying the theory of tails for the solutions of wave equations in curved spaces. Alternative mechanisms for LTMI are discussed, and the relevance of scalar wave tails for cosmology is emphasized.
