such events until around three to three and a half years of age and even then their own accounts would be insufficient. That makes all their self-reporting of the frequency or quantity of "smacks" invalid. I am hoping that serious researchers everywhere will destroy this stupid report. It should never be published and shame on any journal who does.

BTW, I am not against corporal punishment and I don't take the Dr. Spock view of it just in case anyone is asking. I AM against poorly designed experiments and this is a very poorly designed one.
But wine was the great assassin of both tradition and propriety...
