TIL I was trimming my brisket way too much for 10 years

I used to cut off almost all the fat cap because I thought it was wasteful and greasy, but last weekend at a comp in Kansas City a guy named Dave watched me and said 'you're throwing away all your flavor right there'. He showed me his method leaving a quarter inch on and now my bark and moisture are way better. Anyone else learn they were over trimming from a random stranger?

I trimmed mine like a stick of butter for years before someone yelled at me at a gas station.

Idk, maybe it's just me but does trimming really change things that much?
