Thanks :)

Does protocol / design allow clarification of these messages so that
a not-so-experienced user can understand what is happening and why
".shosts is accepted but it still doesn't work"?

ssh -1 is easier to understand in that regard (especially as it will also
tell you *which* hostname and user name it used for checking).
