I love this debate, it never gets old. It's seems to me that a plants ability to photosynthesize would have nothing to do with what area of the plant gets the light, as long as it gets the light. Also, the assumption that light to buds will somehow directly relate to that particular bud's growth is exactly that: an assumption.
Plants grow those fan leaves for the very purpose of turning light into energy for you very hungry buds. They need those leaves, that's why the grew them. Mother Nature has this worked out pretty well. Cutting them off seems like a really, really bad idea to me.
I think it is a bit issue with experience. I remember always feeling like I had to be doing something to my plants, but all I was doing was stressing them out.
Your buds look great to me. Don't be a helicopter parent. Let 'em grow.
