A string of gratuitous assertions, contradicted by virtually all research.
The smug assertion of conventional wisdom, flying in the face of scientific evidence, is typical of the irrationality of those who choose not to think about an issue.
The notion that there is a clear distinction between spanking and beating is contradicted by the data. Spanking is only slightly less damaging than beating.
Actually, I have thought about it. And anybody who doesn't know the difference between spanking and beating should most certainly not spank his children.

Ever since I attended college, I have been convinced that either “studies” confirm what common sense suggests or that they are mistaken.
