pruning is not a simple subject. there are a couple of ways to do it right and a million ways to do it wrong. one of the wrong ways is to cut to get more light to the plant. the leaves are what's absorbing the light and converting it to plant material.

No it doesnt go down, you might slow it down for a couple days but its more important for a bud to get light than a leaf, but you should avoid cutting them if possible

i ripped off like atleast 20-30 fan leaves off my plant during flowering so the bud could get more light nd it worked....it didnt damage my plant..more buds started sprouting up cause the light could shine in..

Once again...why? Do you cut your arm off so your underarm can get tan? In theory, it sounds like the plan, but you are only dealing with a short period of time (you are 1/2 way thru flowering) and cutting fan leaves off will trigger a bit of stress. Something you can do without at this stage because the small benefit of more light at this point. If they are dead and wilting, remove them otherwise let um go! Just my humble opinion.

Leave the plant alone, it needs its leaves for purposes we dont know. Get more lighting: ex. side lights
