You should ask them for the source, especially seeing as you intend to emulate them. Did a single slap not quite get the message across? Is it 2 slaps of slightly less power instead of one almighty full force smacking? For more serious crimes do they increase it to 3 or 4? I'm also interested in the reasoning behind this sort of behaviour.
You may be thinking too much into it. They probably just thought it was a good, even number lol.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
