We need to know why to optimize or refine the suggestion but nothing really says we need to halt any suggestion until that point.

For almost all real world questions a more neutral mix of "Well, you could try ${x} by doing ${xthings} but it might also make sense to do ${y} or other things depending on the ultimate goal" actually gets better results faster than a pure XY or YX approach.
