I don't think the paper is disputing the harm of abusively beating the shit out of your kids.

I think kindenough is making a point about how things can change easily. Its easy to go from "I am punishing my kid" to abuse in a split second and you may not know the difference especial if you don't/can't reflect on what happened. A small change over time will go unnoticed. I big change can go unnoticed if you are not watching.
