The idea is that if a task is that large can you really not break it down into smaller steps? Do we understand the problem well enough to implement or are we hand waving over likely areas of complexity? Maybe if you tried to break it down you'd realise that the 21 point card is actually more like 10+ 5 points tasks and you had just though "big" not "I know what needs to be done and can size this accurately".
Doesn't mean these cases never occur but it's worth seeing if it's actually smaller related pieces of work.
