How about a tall people using a short blade weapon. That would be a nice counter-exmaple. The Zulus come to my mind. They invented a short staff stabing weapon that was quite revolutionary when everyone then and there used thrusting spears. The Zulus put a premium on closing the distance and going in for a stab rather than wasting time poking with a spear. They were tall and yet they went for the relatively short distance stab. They were quite successful at it too.
