The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

it's not to say that it couldn't happen that someone could have the Triad high LDL high HDL low triglycerides and be metabolically unhealthy I think it would be very rare because you're much more likely to develop metabolic dyslipidemia which is a different phenotype with low HDL and high triglycerides
I think that we've been checking triglycerides and HDL cholesterol long enough and there's enough research to verify that without question having a high HDL and low triglyceride I think that that it's inarguably a very healthy place to be
there are multiple studies that show that in individuals with high HDL quote unquote low triglycerides and elevated quote LDL there is very little to any increased risk of cardiovascular disease that is a healthy Triad
