It is inelegant. But the point is not to produce a beautiful sentence, but to demonstrate the existence of a certain class of subordinate clauses that some seem suggest may not even exist. Although this
example is contrived, I have

counterargument should I be wrong.
Here is an example of a clause that, I hope, contains a relative clause introduced by `when'.

The claim is that these clauses are `elusive and doubtful'. If a Professor of Linguistics could not find one, I would be surprised to come across one myself. So I suspect I'm in error.

The words `elusive and doubtful' almost, but not quite, suggest that this kind of clause does not exist.
