Problem is when you cut the plant you stress it. During flower you don't want the plant to stress do you? If you cut to much the plant could go into stress recovery mode and spend its energy on repairing the damage and not flowering or producing trichomes.
Right! cutting anything off the plant will stress it at least a little bit. Wouldn't it be best to simply pluck off the leaves that are yellowing and dying off near the bottom of the plant?

Just tug them, if the stay on.. leave em, if they come off.. well.. they come off

Remember, to keep as little dead plant material around your plant as possible. Bugs love the dead leaves.
