Corporal punishment is ineffective and a lazy cop out for parents that don't want to explain complicated dynamics when making assertions with their kids. People either overcompensate with aggression or undercompensate with passivity because assertion with explanation requires the most effort.

I got hit twice in my life, and I don't do the things I was hit for ever again, I think the issue is that studies shows that if you tell people that physical punishment works, a lot of people would use it wrong so is better to lie to the public, than people hurting their kids.

Yeah but you probably got hang ups now. There's also some weird Stockholm syndrome thing going on with people that got abused, where they reframe it as something positive.
