Peolpe with diets high in eggs, nuts, and other lean sources of cholesterol simply did not suffer from heart disease. The reason being that the factor in your tests that caused heart disease was obesity.
As for your great scientific study.....IT'S OVER 30 YEARS OLD. The abstract you've linked me to also makes no mention of methods. What kind of diet did your study use? Was the high cholesterol diet burger and fries and the low cholesterol diet celery?
And before you call me out for not beign able to find studies to back up my position, maybe you should do a quick search in your own resource:

Dietary cholesterol causes temporary increases in plasma cholesterol. But overall, these temporary changes are small when compared to the natural level of blood cholesterol and do not contribute to cardiovascular disease.
Ultimately the biggest risk factor for cadiovascular disease is Visceral fat. If your skinny, eat all of the eggs you want.
