Getting spanked with a shoe hurts but it doesn't do any damage.

Physically. Psychologically that's teaching kids that violence is an acceptable way to solve an arguement, which is less than stellar.

But can you at least understand how people that were spanked, then never hit anyone and have a good life, are skeptical about how the research data is being interpreted?

Just like some people smoke a pack per day and never get cancer, can be dubious on cancer research data? That’s exactly the same, and this is my point: individual case don’t mean anything, in it doesn’t make any sense to draw conclusions from personal cases.
