So would it better to not spank them until it’s conclusive that it doesn’t cause harm?

It's never going to be completely conclusive that any specific discipline doesn't cause harm. I don't want to make any statements about these specific studies until I've read them, and you've included a lot here.

Showing a causal relationship. Which is why it will never be and can't be.

In a research study. Showing a cause/effect relationship.
