Cutting off nutrient damaged leaves?

My plant got nutrient damage and I flushed her a couple of times but I was wondering if cutting off the already damaged leaves would cause added stress to the plant or would it divert energy away from the damaged leaves to the new non-damaged leaves? Here are some picks of her.2011-08-10_15-06-11_65.jpg2011-08-10_15-06-20_796.jpg2011-08-10_15-06-00_355.jpg2011-08-10_15-06-42_678.jpg

I have thought about this same notion as leaves yellow or burn due to various reasons. I work under the principle that the plant knows best for itself. Only if the leaf is fully browned do I remove it. Even if a leaf is 50% browned or yellow, there usualy is a green pigment in some portion. Green pigment equals functioning chlorophyl. Id rather have a part of the whole rather than none at all. :")

Yea the leaves that are damaged are dried the fuck out, I'm hoping that the ones that are damaged right now remain the only ones.
