You know the classic James Bond line “Martini, shaken, not stirred” is there an actual difference in the taste of the drink from shaking it vs stirring it?

I don’t have any actual study however, I was taught that shaking causes the crushed ice to chip away, watering down the drink ever so slightly. As opposed to stirring is less watered because the ice doesn’t get chipped. 🤷
Looking forward to see if I’m on the right track.
