Is there any proof out there that a short corner is useful in any ways?

Just bring the ball straight into the danger zone. It's a no brainer for me. I'm always puzzled how many teams are trying this with little success.

I'm also not a big fan of positioning players near the goal posts.

It's classic loss aversion bias. Yes, there are instances where a goal can be prevented that way, but I feel the loss of possible gain is way bigger, since the players are missing elsewhere.
And don't even get me started on this.

Sacrificing a player just to prevent the very unlikely scenario that a free kick goal is scored below the defensive wall is ridiculous.

Imagine what this player can do instead. Like being ready for a counter attack. Image
