I don't think that there is a perfect way to construct sentences because reading is itself a creative act and you cannot always predict the way your reader will respond, nor guarantee that they will receive exazctly the message you wished to send. However, language is an amazingly effective tool and we can generally succeed in communicating, but standards of perfection are not assured.
