I agree 100% with this. If you could see at a super slow frame rate and up close to your scissor blades, you'd see huge plumes of chlorophyll saturated mist spraying all over your buds when you cut those small packed full of water leaves off, and that's what makes it smell like shit. I dry trim no matter what now. Pull the big fans, use the scissors to chop any big fingers that are medium sized and half in the nug, then leave the little ones and the Half leaves to dry and curl up.
Then after they dry, use really really pointy scissors to get underneath the curl of the leaf and snip. I honestly sometimes just wear gloves and peel them off with my fingers manually. Its almost like removing a piece of small egg shell off a ftreshly cracked hard boiled egg. They just crack off. Those leaves keep the buds safe while drying and the water has all left so now that you're finally removing them, that "mist" is no more.
Dry trim for life.
Worth the extra effort.
