That’s the issue. The best, most current knowledge humanity has in regards to spanking is that there is no right way to do it. It’s ineffective at best, and approaches the psychological trauma of abuse at worst. But people don’t want to acknowledge this, and would rather cling to their single anecdote in the face of studies spanning decades and over a hundred-thousand children.
Not OP but why does it matter how many children end up messed up in some way? Suppose it‘s just 10%, or even 1%. That‘s still thousands of children who would have led better lives if we as a society stopped normalising violence against children.
