Whenever I get conflicting answers, I try to go to the source. While it is not excerpts from the actual law, the following is from the IRS. I believe it says that at age 59.5+ we are free and clear of any penalty from conversions done within the last 5 years. Bold and underlined parts are my accents and some parts are clipped out. You can read the whole publications here:

I read that as any withdrawal from a Roth IRA are "qualified" once the recipient is over 59.5 and their 1st Roth IRA opened and contributed to was over 5 tax years ago. Meeting that requirement, any withdrawal is not taxed. Further, even if the withdrawal was not "qualified" since the recipient is over 59.5 the "additional 10% tax" does not apply either.
Here’s the IRS code:

I can see why there are different interpretations.
