Yep. What's the reason? Peter was telling Jesus he didn't need to go to the cross.

He was allowing himself to be used by Satan or was speaking the words of Satan by opposing Christ's mission.

Expand the principle now: murder, theft, demonic opposition to Christ's mission. (Is that fair summary? Help me with the wording.)

He rebukes Peter in John 21:22 for curiosity about the future of the beloved disciple rather than following Him and His calling in Peter's life.

The greek has the force of "What's is to you! You follow me!"

The problemn with your thesis is that there are varying degrees of rebuke and I question whether there is a hard and fast principle. Might be better to state the things that most frequently drew His criticism.
