Here's a way to understand it better;
If you set the toolrest right at horizontal dead center on the round blank, as you look at it, the top half of the circumference is coming towards you and the bottom half is going away.
You can't cut something that is going away. The blank (wood) must be coming into the tool.
A slight incline into the cutting plane and your tools will last allot longer.
