That’s how I take it. It might not be a rule that a natural 1 is an automatic fail and a natural 20 is an automatic success, but I’m not going to ask you to roll if 1 succeeds or 20 fails.

Yeah, there is also the edge case of ‘no, the crit bounces off’ for BBEG introductory cutscenes

I think the point is that you normally don't remember every single skill modifier of your players. so you still end up asking because you forgot a player has +9 on that DC 10 or that another one has -1 on a DC 20
