Question Localizer Backcourse - Reverse Sensing ??

Hi. I was wondering if anybody can help me on this question. All of the answers that I do get from instructors or collegues are somewhat... "didn't answer the question".

During a localizer backcourse approach, you have to set the HSI to reciprocal heading, enabling it to fly like a normal localizer. With an OBS reciever, you will always recieve reverse sensing, whether you set it to the approach heading or the reciprocal... why?

Thanks a lot.
