I can kind of see where you are coming from, but there are a lot of other examples where rolling behind the screen are more apropos.Knowing how well you peformed is not the same as knowing the task DC and everything else about the situation. But personally I've always had a pretty good idea how well I've performed in all those situations (albeit my dating experience is rather limited, I've never had the 'I fancy her, did she like me?' experience); if I've been surprised by the result it was extraneous factors I didn't know about.
For example a Listen check at a door. How can you know how well you "performed" if in fact the lurker was totally silent or they had a silence spell? Do you think, "I did a fine job listening there!", so obviously there's nothing there? Checks like Listen sorta have to be done hidden.
Now are you saying that you think ALL rolls should be out front? For example opposed checks like Bluff vs Sense Motive where the Sense Motive roll was hidden? I think I missed it if you had an opinion about this situation.
