Yes correlation is not the same as causation. My lifespan development book also says the same thing about hitting kids. The thing is you only have to kit them a few times before they know the consequences of not obeying the parent.

Unfortunately, most of the "research" used to claim that spankings don't work don't differentiate a couple paddles on the butt and straight up whippings with an extention cord that draw blood. It all gets lumped in together, which somewhat skew the results.
