True. That's how it was for me as a child. Although my parents spanked for everything ... even obvious accidents because I shouldn't have been clumsy. I wonder if the sting wearing off is correlated to the frequency of spankings. If you are getting spanked multiple times per day every day, that might be different from being spanked occasionally over specific things.
But from my observations, it does seem to work pretty well on many kids. Although my belief is that just because it might work doesn't mean it is right.

You cannot be too gentle, too kind. Shun even to appear harsh in your treatment of each other. Joy, radiant joy, streams from the face of him who gives and kindles joy in the heart of him who receives. All condemnation is from the devil. Never condemn each other. ... Keep silent, refrain from judgment. This will raise you above the deadly arrows of slander, insult and outrage and will shield your glowing hearts against all evil.
