Because you are then holding up an expectation of them to be good at everything. then they feel like they actually have to be good at it, because maybe they don’t wanna disappoint you or be embarrassed because they aren’t as good as you held them up to be.
after you have expected them to be good at everything, and they’ve failed, they probably feel like a failure, like they could have done better. you’d basically be signing them up for failure and embarrassment if you expected them to be good at everything after you realized they can do one thing good

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
