Does "Icing" the kicker really work?

Your statements are completely void of facts. If a team has a timeout why not use it before the game ends? Please give me a viable reason or something based upon fact that would show this to be a flawed strategy and a waste of time?

Please cite another sports example of such a "niche" strategy? Maybe a batter stepping out the box to get the pitcher out of his rhythm? "The Shift"?
A golfer using his putter as a plumb bob? Deferring a winning coin toss to the second half? Spiking the ball to stop the clock?
