I would disagree, and so would most people.
other than dorian, who did not display many striations, striations and deep vascularity ARE a good indicator of overall conditioning.
eg.
Compare ronnie 99 to his 2004 shape where he was holding much water:
You would disagree and like most people you're not well versed on competitive bodybuilding , where is he holding water? in his midsection , his quads , his back , his delts the fact you think Ronnie in 99 and 2004 are similarly conditioned proves my point of how little you know.
NO fat and SQ water are great indications of conditioning , Dorian's lower lats and erector spinae were covered in striation in a like Coleman's never , Dorian's interclostals and obliques same thing , his chest was covered in striations , again if you're haggling over more its just a complete joke seriously .
One thing Dorian NEVER had a problem with was conditioning he had the size of a superheavyweight and the conditioning of a lightweight its an extremely hard thing to do thats why you don't see it even to this day.
