Trimming bud incorrectly reduces flavour?

I’m on a mission to raise the quality of my product to as close to top shelf as possible. One of the areas I’m looking to improve is trimming. My trimmers tend to ‘mow’ the buds with the scissors rather than carefully picking out leaf. They also handle the buds a lot, which I’m told is not good either.

Can anyone confirm if trimming the buds this way actually reduces flavour? Or is it just a case that you lose the outer layer of trichomes?
