Hey, I think you are right. I myself am doing my Masters in Nutrition and Biomedicine and have been reading up a lot on preventive cardiology (lipids, statins, etc.) over the last few months. Here are some more papers that I think are good and may be helpful for argumentation:

Personally, I'm still under 30 and have "optimal" non-HDL-C levels according to guidelines, but I'll probably take a low-dose statin to get to under 100 mg/dl or LDL-C under 70 mg/dl or ApoB to about 60 mg/dl. At least for me, that is not achievable with lifestyle alone. 

In addition, Lp(a) is still an important point. This is genetically determined and cannot (yet) really be influenced, but with a high value the treatment should be all the more aggressive.
