It would be a stretch if we didn't have those four instances on-panel and three verifications on-panel. You must recognize that you are not arguing against a theory in the absence of proof. You are arguing against the explanation for what has actually occurred several times, some of which have been verified separately.
In order to rebut what was actually occurred, you need proof that completely rebuts the on-panel evidence that has been presented. You have none. This burden of proof doesn't go away by citing to real-life science or your own opinions that you don't like it. You're arguing semantics in the face of on-panel evidence.

The reason there is no explanation on panel is because the writers didn't think there needed to be one, they didn't realise there was any mistake to begin with. Clearly it wasn't their intention to suggest that the standard baseline Marvel human's is different than that of a real human.
And confine the conversation to Wolverine, and if you must, Sabretooth. Expanding the inquiry to all Marvel humans changes the object of this discussion.

Four mistakes doesn't come any where close to cutting it, there is about 1000 examples of comic panels drawn where the character's thumb is on the wrong side... FACT: Comic book characters can alternate each hand between a right hand / left hand configuration at their whim?
An artist's mistake in drawing something is quite distinct from a writer's/artist's deliberate decision to depict something on-panel as part of the plot.
