This would be out of character for Kirk.  Can you honestly see Kirk
hitting McCoy, who is weaker than he is?  And taunting someone who's
tied down so he can't get at him?  Especially Spock?  This is just not
Kirk's style.  It would never even occur to him to do it that way.

After all, one has one's code.
