Imagine one rotor having it's intake cycle. The port opens, there's a large rapid surge of suction pulling air into the rotor housing, but as it nears the end of the cycle, that suction subsides and the air is just more or less coasting in as the port starts to close. Now, imagine the second rotor starting it's large suction portion of it's cycle as the first rotor is coasting. The second rotor will be perfectly happy to suck some of the air and fuel out of the first rotor, as it also sucks new air in from the runners.

But that would happen only if the pressure coming from the throttle were less that the pressure at the rotor. How could the pressure at the rotor be less if it has been *sucking* in air? The point behind tuned tubes of about 15" to 20" is to provide for velocity in the air so that the cylinder continues to be packed once it starts closing. So with a properly tuned intake, there must be a pressure in the tube that is higher than the combustion chamber.
