Why check the motor rotation?

It occurred to me that we never checked that it was a clockwise motor. My understanding is most transmissions (input shafts) run clockwise (Honda being one exception), and some e-motors only run in one direction due to brush timing. Just verifying that we didn't have one of those motors and weren't stuck with a mismatch. (Kind of thought of that late in the process, but oh well. It all turned out OK.)
