Dennis,
I'm no spring chicken and have been known to use the various ones out there.
More importantly, I prescribe them all the time and have heard pretty much all the stories. While chol is only one of many risk factors, it is an important one that previously was ignored (or debated as you seek to do). Therapy for it and lowering goals have routinely found more and more benefit to treating that single factor. We still aren't really sure where the "floor" is to get down to.
And I'm as "unprofessional" as they come. It continues to amaze me that people will get an electrician to wire their house, but insist that they know more than the profs when it comes to medical care. YMMV
