I'm not exactly sure why that is, but it's another property I found out through experimentation. You learn a lot when you build stuff and test it.
@ wojwrobel... It would take quite a bit of energy to spin those magnets, then the new polarity would just re polarize the core into an attractive condition again anyway.
Keep thinking though. Better yet, build it and test it for yourself.
