Wonderful
Finally
However a few points
Firstly, as I pointed out, if the hit was not hard enough to make sense that it killed him, everyone would be patur. So we are talking about a full fledged hit
Secondly In the context of teaching a career or swimming as the case may be, you are correct
However the first Mishna is talking about learning that’s why the father and Rebbe are together.
Over there it’s always patur .
As to the rest of your post, sure I said many times that I’m today’s day the common consensus is not to hit, I was just laying out the Torah starting point. Which even you go your post agreed that for valid chinuch reasons, the Torah allowed hitting.
If hitting was not a chinuch method it would never be allowed
