And this disagrees with what I said how?

The players know something is up but they don't know what triggered this reaction. Was it somebody's Danger Sense going off? Perhaps Tactics suggests that the room is a perfect place for an ambush. Then everybody start rolling vs skills (with no knowledge of any Task Modifiers...including fi there are any).
That's depriving the player of information they've paid for "one of you..." doesn't tell me if my character's Danger Sense has gone off, which is something I've bought and paid for. Likewise for the guy with Tactics. Danger Sense doesn't inform the whole party something's bad, just the character that has it (and paid for it).

Yeah that doesn't make sense at all. Someone senses something but you don't say who? What if that player wants to keep it to themselves?
