>I think the word "actively" is doing a lot of work there.

I'm sorry. What are you trying to say? I honestly don't understand. I used the word in it's generally accepted usage (see below).

Actively (adv.):

1. in a way that involves deliberate and vigorous engagement or effort:

[Source: https://www.dictionary.com/browse/actively ]

How is that word doing anything other than standing in for the concept above?

A quick google search for the phrase "x is doing a lot of work there" netted just this one "relevant" result[0].

That link appears to think it's roughly similar to "that requires some unpacking."

If that's the sense in which you used that phrase, I'd be very interested to hear what, exactly you think needs to be "unpacked."

Especially since there was no hidden/obfuscated meaning in my use of "actively." In fact, I meant it exactly, no more, no less than the the definition above.

I'd really appreciate it if you'd elucidate on that. Thanks!
