It's a "suggestion" from a direct superior in a hierarchical power structure. A little bit of communication isn't going to change the context. Why not? If I don't like the "suggestion," I - a professional ostensibly employed to provide my expertise - will do my job and use my expertise to push back on their suggestion while communicating that they're ultimately in charge and I'm willing to do something I disagree with. Not everything from on high is an order. Having a relationship with a superior or an employee where you're both free to push back on each others ideas (and understand how hard the other side is pushing) is a critically important part of the relationship.
