You are violating the group's norms by assaulting someone and will be punished by the group for doing that. Other groups have different norms. Orthodox Muslims might assault unbelievers since they aren't considered humans and the "rights" don't apply to them.
That moves your hand in defense? That idea takes maybe 10x longer to grasp than it takes your hand, independent of the existence of language even, to determine, "fuck that this is my face, fuck off w that attack." Happens simultaneous w the receiving of data "under attack."
That's just a self-preservation instinct. In the same way you want the best for your kin in order to pass on your genes. But that doesn't make those feelings a "right".
Is someone wrong to protect their face?
Define right? I understand the term as "entitlements that exist independently of any outside input." I have the right to defend myself for example. People can only recognize or violate that right, their idea of it isnt even present when my body is called to defend.
