Default RE: tractor prop efficiency vs. pusher prop efficiency?

I am no engineer but that sounds rather strange to me. Thousands of electric pusher models are flying merrily with tractor props mounted on the back end of their models. Why on earth would the airfoil of a propeller differ from one end of the plane to the other? The molecules of air don't know which end the prop is on.
