If you slap someone in the cheek, forehand, with your right hand, you slap their LEFT cheek.
Whatever source you got the above examples from lied, or was wrong, at least once. Lacking any other information about that source, I would assume all of the examples are bullshit unless backed up with a credible source.

It was not the cheek itself that was the important part there. It was the side of the hand that hits it. by turning your head, you force them to back hand you to hit the other cheek, and the back hand was the insult, not the cheek hit. That part is still correct. So, no, his source wasn't wrong, at least about the geometry. I'm not a historian so I can't comment on the rest, but this is not the first time I have heard these points brought up. I do think they are worth some thought, I do believe that Jesus was not the total peace and love hippy they make him out to be. Think about it, he was the son of a carpenter, which in those times meant that he would have learned the family trade. Think about what that meant back then. It was you and a 200 pound slab of wood. The typical view of Jesus as some skinny little beatnic is way off. Now think of what kind of damage a man built like that would do with a whip when whipped up into a rightous rage like he was in the temple. That sound likea hippy to you? Jesus was a bad mother fucker that was not above bringing the pain.
