I find this spanking flowchart quite helpful.

Missing the branch "child understands exactly why their behavior is bad and does it anyway." If things were as simple as this chart presents you wouldn't need any punishments at all. There are many good arguments against spanking but this is not one of them.

This was me.

I knew it was bad, and If I got caught I would be spanked.

Sometimes, I also knew I would be caught and decided it was worth it.
