It's worth noting that you never hear anyone say "I was spanked and it really helped me to understand and grow" no... the line is always "I was spanked and tuned out fine." much like "I played with lawn darts and turned out fine." (I also played with lawn darts, and I would not give them to a child today, knowing what can go wrong)
We don't like to think of our parents making mistakes, so people who were spanked an survived it unharmed have a tendency to defend it.
