How do you know? Maybe if you hadn't been beaten you would have turned out as an even better member of society... maybe.
I'm not against the very occasional slap to control a very naughty child who's put himself or others in danger but I don't really think it's often the best method of teaching right from wrong.
You (a child) are in the wrong, so I (an adult) will hit you. Something grates there.
