There is even a chance that lojban can be amended in a way it behaves
better then natlangs after the amendment.

Suppose for instance we are given a new consonant "q", one could state
that from now there is a strict equivalence between the phonological
sequences

"a" and "aqa"

"e" and "eqe"

"i" and "iqi"

"o" and "oqo"

"u" and "uqu"


Oh. If you replace VqV with V3 (in Man= darine third tone, where V - vowel) that would be quite reasonable too.
 
Thus, so'a and s= o'e can be confused in a noisy environement, but
saying so'aqa ou so'eqe would avoid that.

This is a simple example to show you that discussing a drawback of
lojban does not mean being mean towards it, rather it is what is
expected from anybody here : that is, being scientific and examine
closely and open-mindedly any problem.
