Yeh, I read the abstract cause I don't have time right now to go through the whole article, but frequency of harsh physical punishment has to be a factor, and if it wasn't even measured than it needs to be explored.

Appeal to nature fallacy if I've ever heard one. Gaining factual knowledge is never a bad thing for decision making. As you said, it's a tool to GUIDE, not the end all be all of child raising. You could have done a better job. Everyone can, people often just lack the humility to admit it.
