It also makes them look like a giant idiot if they actually made a mistake by not considering it. Maybe not the best thing to risk.

But that is kind of unavoidable. When I do screw up, I rather find out by an honest question, where I can be the one answering, "duh, I should have thought of that!", instead of gradually realising that the only one that doesn't know that I'm wasting my time is I.
It's partly unavoidable, but you make the embarrassment far worse if you act like it's so obvious that they clearly must have tried it, you don't even need to ask.
It is completely avoidable, just shut up.
