One of my own techniques as a manager: if I'm not satisfied with an answer to my question, I'll just keep asking more questions.
Sometimes my questioning will lead the others to find some unnoticed complexity in their own proposal. Other times, their replies to my questions will lead _me to realize I had an incomplete picture in my own head. Either is a useful outcome--likely a better outcome than if I outright disagreed at the beginning.
