What you described sounds like a dogman that knows exactly what he is looking for and someone that has a good grasp on what to expect. There is nothing wrong with testing your dogs the proper way when they are ready and "ripe" and have been given the attention that is needed. At least I don't think there is. That is where experience and wisdom comes in to play.
These dogs didn't evolve from good dogmen pussyfooting around and making excuses for dogs that don't measure up. They were molded in the fire of physical and mental struggle, wrought with pain and adversity, for untold years upon years. It needs to be done intelligently and purposefully though, without the ignorance that Jack was describing as "Hardcore".
