Conformation is subjective in and of itself......you have a standard.....then you have a judge putting his/her opinion onto that standard.....and three judges that are "experts" in that breed will have three different opinions as to why or why not that dog has good conformation or not......
I did livestock judging in high school and college, and we would have different reasons why we would score an animal to be up to the breed standard. And the head judge would tweak our interpretation a bit further.....but since he was the Head Judge.....what he says goes. But if you brought in another qualified judge....he would give you a different inerpretation......it didn't mean the livestock was inferior...it just meant to myself or the others judging it....it did/didn't meet the expectations of the breed.
So if the dog will hunt and is sound......then DUMP THE BOX!!!!!
P.S.- As was stated earlier...breed standards change all the time. So that adds to the subjectiveness of the conformation standard.....
