I got the advanced thread detection skill and then did an intermediate level case and got a thread and it said it belonged to a female. After that case I did a Hard level case and it said I found a thread, and nothing else. I thought it was supposed to always say the gender?

Does the chance of it telling you the gender go down and the skill level go up?

Most of the skills are also luck based. You can increase your chances by wearing smart gear for searching the scene. Same as when you use charm skills it helps if you dress charming and if you use tough skills it helps if you dress tough.
Skills like research and lockpicking would always work. Even if you are naked :P

Sam, Dark Raven is referring to the detailed information that comes with the advanced skills, since that is what this question is about. The advanced skills are not 100% effective on their own. It takes a decent set of smart gear to make sure you get all the details to each PE. (ie, slim/heavy, male/female.....)

In response to your statement, working the higher level cases, if you have a negative smart adjustment with your gear, you may very well miss some of the evidence, sometimes even all of it.
