Correlations are better than nothing. You want a simple elegant theory but why do you think one actually exists. The human body is incredibly complex, maybe there are no general rules, only a plethora of interacting processes that are very hard to model.
Also I think that there is a lot of evidence and theory on the harmful effects of dietary saturated fats. Same for being overweight.

Of course, one is probably going to find out that there's other confounding variables involved and another paper will come up in a year or so making the exact opposite claims.
