So how should I phrase a question or concern when I _don't_ think the other party has already anticipated using sshd?

It's easy for even very experienced engineers to get sucked into a solution that they don't realize is the wrong path until they've talked it through with someone else. And that's not a sign that they're incompetent nitwits. It might just be that no one ever told them about Obvious Solution X because everyone assumed they already knew it. Is there a good way to basically say "why didn't you consider using sshd and if you didn't because you just blanked or you don't know what sshd is, that's cool, let's talk about it"?
