Children dont understand reasoning they are children their world needs to be very black and white. Time out doesnt fit into that.

Just because it may "help" getting the child to do what you want them to in short term, I think it is an admission of failure the moment you hit your kids. Because then you admit you have nothing else to do than use physical power.
I don't have children myself and has never been hit (although I was close to once), but I think that it creates a relationship built on fear rather than respect between child and parent.
It may not prevent parents from hitting their kids just making it illegal, but it sends a signal that it is not accepted by the society as a whole, just as prohibiting minors from drinking and smoking does.
