I suppose parents will likely ask the IPv6 specialists something like this:
- should I click on '6rd' or '6to4' or on 'DHCPv6' or on 'PPPoE'?
- should I click on ULA or not?
- should I click on private addresses or not?
- should I click on Delegate inside when using Delegate from outside,
   or not?
- what should I fill in as next-hop address?
- what does "dotted-decimal notation" mean with IPv6 addresses?
(these are examples from existing consumer equipment for in-house)

Little chances are there that parents will ask whether to use BGP or 
OSPF or please design a protocol for me. (haven't seen these options on 
consumer equipment GUIs).

I agree.
