Can I ask the reason?

I've never really thought about it, I just put the file in the gullet of the next cutter and pull it back to a comfy position. Hope I'm not committing a heinous act while sharpening!

I slipped and cut my hand doing that at work one day. Had to run home for a Hello Kitty plaster. 
 

Or was it a Lightning McQueen one, can't remember.

Well the oil pump runs clockwise end on, so it's what I was taught before most on here were born.

Re tipex / marker pen yada yada. Can't understand the need. The sharpened teeth are bright, the remaining ones dull. Freshly filed metal is abundantly obvious.

Yes more so if you are cutting wet or green wood or staining wood like oak, but less so with dry seasoned wood.  
 

Also I sometimes sharpen and then go back with a critical eye and adjust.

The chain goes 3 times backwards in a sharpen , doesn't make a lot of sense to worry about the oil pump to me as the chain will have done 3 spins forward in half a second running.

I pull it back when sharpening too, think I started doing it because it makes sure teeth don't catch on stuff on the bench or vice under the bar, and now habit.

I never pull the chain back, only forward.

I do the same only pull it forward into a comfy position . It doesn't matter a fcuk .

Is it cos the worm drive that turns the oil pump only turns one way?

Dunno really, just speculation.
