As someone has mentioned, “Pass” and “Fail” are not the only possible outcomes of any given roll. That’s why there are numbers on the dice besides 1 and 20.
Also, the GM doesn’t usually(and also shouldn’t, with everything else they need to keep track of) memorize every aspect of all their players’ character sheets - they don’t necessarily KNOW if the check is impossible to pass or fail.
