Default BFO, CW, sideband question

Alas, a SSB station is only transmitting one of the sidebands! This by
convention is LSB on 40 and below and USB on 20 or above. If a station
WERE to xmt USB on 75 meters, for instance, you would have to use the
USB position and would not be able to detect it in LSB.

Right Bill, but why. Could I not retune my receiver so that I would catch
the transmitted sideband with my "LSB window"?

I guess from experience the answer is no, and that is also what you said,
but what is the reason??
