If you're going to nail people on specific questions, you need to stick to those specific questions, not read a reaction to your very specific “cholesterol by itself isn’t harmful?” as anything other than an answer to your question.

Do you think the original person making the claim was referring to high serum cholesterol, or shadow boxing against an imaginary interlocutor who claims even a single individual cholesterol molecule is harmful?

I thought it was obvious, hence the original broad quote, but the bizarre Wikipedia response made me think that perhaps I wasn’t clear enough. Hence the clarification with my follow up.
