They're asking whether these things can BE actual expressions in 
Klingon. If you don't think so, explain why not. Without accusing them 
of trying to encode English into Klingon.

I don't think it's for you to say how they enjoy the language. Saying 
"This doesn't seem to be against the rules; does it work?" is not an 
unproductive activity. I'd honestly never considered constructing nested 
purpose clauses before, but I can find no reasonable prohibition against it.
