Yes...as I said I see about three of them but you can also bend them under which is even better....I'm a very firm believer in the less is more prune theory. The other thing is your plant will change and grow daily. This is where I start getting into issues.....I pull a leaf and the next day I have to pull another one....next thing you know the plant is bald because every day it changes a little bit and grows a little more. So my rule generally is to bend it back out of the way if it will stay there great....if I have to bend it back daily for 3 days then I'll yank it.
