Triangulation is a trustworthy method of measuring stellar distances regardless of the distance.

FALSE Theoretically, it would be true. The problem is that you would need to be able to measure the angles at an incredible level of precision for stars that were very, very far away. Having the tools to make such precise measurements is going to be a problem in the real world. Your margin of error is going to be greater than the difference in the angles.
