Look man, I like you, soyou can just be direct and stop trying to streer me into some imaginary corner. You're clearly using the comparison to advocated some form of pruning.
Thats fine, i lollipop my plants a bit for airflow and to make harvest easier, but i never pull healthy fan leaves from the active canopy of the plant. I top and lst. Thats it. I ran 2 side by side by side comparisons with clones and both came out about the same. The plant i left untouched and the lollipopped plants yeilded within a couple percent of each other and the more aggressively pruned plant yeilded less in the %6 to %8 range. I can see the attraction of aggressive pruning in a large scale operation to reduce labor come harvest time and to minimize the chance for mold, but in a closet/tent/small room application i havent seen anything that makes it worth my time.
