I agree, I constantly see this suggestion that smacking can be done in a level-headed, deliberate way without anger as a fully considered part of parenting... and yet, I have literally NEVER seen a parent hit a child when it wasn't simply a case of them getting angry and losing control. I think "calm smacking" is a lie and an excuse.
