Good analogy with the hammer battering one side. Let him hold a ball in front of his face and then let others throw stones at him, and ask afterwards which side of his head hurts most
.
IIRC the main reason for the differences though, is that the crust is thicker on the far side, and that prevents the smooth areas to be formed by the hot interior material (does the moon still have a hot interior these days?) I thought that was only a hypothesis, but a very plausible one.
That is, if there should be another hemisphere on the moon
