Abstract: Three interrelated questions concerning Kerr spacetime late-time scalar-field tails are considered numerically, specifically the evolutions of generic and non-generic initial data sets, the excitation of "up" modes, and the resolution of an apparent paradox related to the superposition principle. We propose to generalize the Barack-Ori formula for the decay rate of any tail multipole given a generic initial data set, to the contribution of any initial multipole mode. Our proposal leads to a much simpler expression for the late-time power law index. Specifically, we propose that the late-time decay rate of the $Y_{ellm}$ spherical harmonic multipole moment because of an initial $Y_{el{l}^{\prime }m}$ multipole is independent of the azimuthal number $m$, and is given by $t^{-n}$, where $n=el{l}^{\prime }+ell+1$ for $ell<el{l}^{\prime }$ and $n=el{l}^{\prime }+ell+3$ for $ellgeel{l}^{\prime }$. We also show explicitly that the angular symmetry group of a multipole does not determine its late-time decay rate.
