Catchrcall pretty much nailed it, people who think beating a dog makes it mean don't really understand dogs. Depending on the dog it may make it fearful and it's response to that fear may be interpreted by some as it being mean.

Unstable? Depending on what a particular person considers stable, easy enough to do by simply not providing the dog with any sense of where it fits in its home, what the rules are, etc. The lack of boundaries he speaks of.

What I find really odd about the people who want a "bad ass dog" and think beating and mistreating is the way to accomplish it is that the real "bad ass" dogs, the one's trained for home defense, guarding, etc. are not beaten and mistreated to make them what they are. For lack of a better term for it let's call them the "ghetto dogmen" and their methods of "training" can be referred to as the psychology of stupid.
