Overszd I agree with you on a couple of points. First: A check valve will not fix a cylinder that has an internal bypass leak, it isn't going to happen. Second: I also agree that a check valve will hold a cylinder in place if the control valve on the tractor is leaking.
The fact still remains that check valves on cylinders do work the majority of the time. Have you ever heard of a TBN member that purchased a cylinder with a check valve say here that it didn't fix their leak-down problem? I know I haven't, yet I do hear praise for a cylinder equipped with a check valve.
It really doesn't matter to me or the next guy why they work or even how they work, as long as the implement stays where it's put.
