From a usage book, an example sentence being discussed: Whose presence is none the less welcome in that he serves to provide the only element of humour.
IN THAT has a meaning similar to BECAUSE; according to the writer, who comments on the sentence, IN THAT cannot respond to the 'THE + LESS/MORE' structure(including NONE THE LESS), so IN must be omitted. Does it mean if IN is not changed, the intended will not get across?
