The DM tells you what you perceive, not what actually is.

I get that, but at a certain level of roll it needs to be a definitive answer. Even if you don't beat the DC, a roll like 25 should at least get something back like, "You don't know why but you're getting bad vibes."

Otherwise players just feel lost and like the character's expertise means nothing.

This is one reason I love Pathfinder 2e's degrees of success.
