Well the connection may be able to succeed via some other key (eg from
an agent) or via another auth method (the client doesn't know what
methods the server will offer when it's parsing options).
As for whether a missing/unreadable key file should be a fatal error,
I'm not sure. I can imagine it breaking otherwise working configs.

ENOENT is not that specific. If you specify a non-existent directory
(eg -i "/no/such/id") in which case that message would be wrong.
