I'm not usually into relativising everything to death, but, clearly, that is an ideal---or a chimaera. An absence, too, of particular nuances in your speech pattern is information.
I think I understand what you are saying, though.

O.K. But I mean, if Lojban 'standard procedure', or literature convention, were to use {lu}/{li'u}, then their intentional non-usage per se would be potentially meaningful/interpretable. (This is somehow parallel to the stuff above about [absence of] voice patterns.)
The question is: Is there an established
Lojban standard procedure for texts like lo cmalu noltru? Possibly, I don't read enough Lojban to know. (Hopefully will.)
