Do you think this study on the supposed benefits of smacking children will encourage such behavior?

I just read this

and I don’t know the details of the study and would love to get the actual statistics and study design but it seems like quite a leap…especially the conclusion that parents who don’t smack their kids aren’t able to help them with self-discipline and social skills…seems to me that inability to control one’s urges to hit their children points to quite the lack of self-discipline…

what do you think?
