Dragon 341 & Sage Advice on Grapples

[Saracenus]

To The Sage,

You say that a creature with natural weapons gets all of its natural weapon attacks in a grapple (with a -4 to hit).

Does this mean that Rake listing in the the MM (page 313) is wrong? It says that creatures only get one natural weapon attack during a grapple.

So, which is it.

Thank you,

I would assume that the sage meant a creature is able to use any of its natural attacks in a grapple, not that it can use them all at the same time.
