I can’t believe any parent doubts the value of corporal punishment. It’s not like you have to use it all the time. Once the credible threat is established, order is secured.
When Bill Russell was playing ball for the Celtics he was getting beat up pretty bad, but did not want to retaliate. Red Auerbauch took him aside one day and said listen you don't have to do it all the time. If you do it right you will only have to do it once and there will be no doubt ever again.

Once I saw it work on my dog, I knew it would work on my kids (when they were very young, of course). I also knew it would work fine if applied carefully later.
It’s OBVIOUS.
I agree – just like WWII.
