You are communicating on a product of science. Care to start sending in
smoke signals?

It is always a product of its time and
frequently comes with an agenda.

Geez, I should hope to shout.

Where researchers frequently get into
trouble is in trying to pass off deductive logic as inductive
reasoning.

Precisely the problem with those such as Lazerlare et al.

That is a primary problem with no-spank research.

Actually it's not. And you've got it entirely backwards, as should be
expected from a non-scientist with a deeply troubled mind.

If you wanted to make your argument, you'd claim that they are trying
to pass of inductive reasoning (the weaker method) as deductive logic
(the stronger method of the two).

You asleep are yah?

You babble. And in doing so your mind runs away with you as it just
did, and your own thinking errors trip you up.

The problem with pro-spanking research is that it has never shown any
long term positive results that are duplicatable. Since it's all anti
anti-spanking focused instead of working on proving that spanking
works.

It doesn't, and you have an embarassment of riches in proof against any
such claim by simply looking at the population of criminals,
scoundrels, and those afflicted with severe breaks with reality, as you
seem to be. The world itself, with the pain and aguish of so many is
clear proof that harsh child rearing does not work. Anthropologists
have been pointing this out for years. It simply creates monsters that
perpetuate it, and sadly, find all to easy justification and defense
for it as "normal," "because we all have done it." And "look at me, I
turned out okay," more severe thinking errors.

You will find a large body of people both spanked and unspanked
defending non-spanking. You will find almost no one but the spanked
defending spanking.

Telling correlation, that.

Do you like my deductive logic, or would you prefer my inductive
reasoning?

I've noticed something else that you won't like. The children of
non-spankers that grow up and seek mates drop them if they insist that
spanking is okay when they have children. It narrows the field for
finding a mate, but it surly improves the stock of humankind.

Pretty soon you won't able to get laid at all....R R R R R R....
