Without actually seeing an example of this, I tend to disagree; even in cases where the sentence is extremely long and complex, following the rules of grammar tend to make the sentence more clear than unclear.
Here's an example for you:
"I am not one of 'the usual gang of idjits' in the sense that I failed to submit a proposed definition for the term yexing."
Without the context I would take this to imply that "the usual gang of idjits" failed to submit a proposed definition for the term. Nothing could be further from the truth.
