As I understand it, because of variation in the cane, the machines turn out reeds that vary. They're even sorted into their varying strengths only afterwards.
Thus, a reed that ISN'T filed would play differently, and perhaps better – or worse – were it to be filed in the machining process.
Also, a reed that IS filed would have played better – or worse – had it NOT been filed.
Naively, this would seem to argue for the first option. You can always file a reed yourself, if you think it would make it better.
That would be a way of testing the validity of your 'pet theory' about reeds.
