Well, i was told effectively "Yeah, you can read well but your handwriting, math and french are horrid. You can be solidly mediocre". Not quite as depressing as "you will fail regardless", but far from being called gifted.
From watching others I have to agree with you. Predictions are a problem ("You will never be able to do X.") while clear consequences are not ("If you can not do X then you will fail this test/grade because it is an essential component.").
