What advantages do you see there being in asking a player to use their weaker foot to take a corner?

If your only good corner taker (or wide free kick taker) for e.g. your left side is a left-footed player with a strong right foot, you might still want them to hit an inswinging corner (with their right foot) instead of the default outswinger - at least according to these links, they present a higher likelihood of scoring so would stand to reason that a manager would prefer that delivery.
