Since -- after BSF -- I DO do tropicals and since they both
happen to be F. nerifolia -- is this another procedure chalked up
to TRADITION or does it actually do better than leaving a bit of
leaf stalk on?

Well, it works. And usually there is some leaf stub when you pluck.
Think of it as a chicken that has white goo on the feathers.
