Yes, you are perfectly right. But authetication is only one part of the solution. I have pretty bad experience with an open ssh port, although no one has managed so far to break in, considerable amount of traffic was generated on my connection trying to brute force their way in almost resulting in a DOS. Preselecting who I would like to allow access, will reduce those attacs to virtually zero.
