But the trimmed beaks DO continue to grow. Maybe not all the way back, but certainly some growth. Any study I try to read about beak-trimming protocols, talks about the rate at which the beak continues to grow. For example: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0032579119402745...

Beaks certainly do grow longer with time (that's how chickens can have overgrown beaks--especially common in chickens with crossbeak, but can happen to other chickens too.) They grow from the base, and usually wear away at the tip. Given that mechanism, why are you sure a beak cannot grow back?
