The names (cleansing, hardness, bubbly, etc) are misleading to beginner soap makers. The "numbers" are simply the % of certain fatty acids in your recipe. For example "Hardness" is the % of lauric, myristic, palmitic, and stearic acids. That's all.
Yes, these particular fatty acids tend to make soap that is hard-like-a-rock at the time of unmolding. But if you absolutely believe a given "hardness" number is the ONLY way to get a hard soap, you would be mistaken. As others are pointing out, additives that aren't included in the "numbers" and "special case" soaps such as 100% olive oil soap can also create a hard-like-a-rock soap.
It is true as "hardness" goes up, "conditioning" goes down. But what, really, does that mean? The "conditioning" number is actually the total % of oleic, linoleic, linolenic, and ricinoleic acids in the recipe. In other words, all the typical fatty acids for soaping that SoapCalc does not include in the "hardness" number. So I honestly don't pay attention to the "conditioning" number anymore -- once I get the other fatty acids in the range I want, the "conditioning" fatty acids fall into place without any special work on my part. Furthermore, soap doesn't condition ... it cleans ... so the real goal of a good bath soap recipe is not "conditioning" but rather that it is sufficiently mild to the skin.

I look for a balance of all the fatty acids. Sometimes I look at the % of fatty acids, sometimes I look at the "numbers" depending on my mood. And I don't obsess about the answers I see -- when comparing two proposed recipes, a few percent difference in the fatty acid percentages is insignificant. Make the recipes and see how they actually perform before deciding which you prefer.
In general, I want a low to zero % for the short-chain FAs (lauric and myristic). These fatty acids add fluffy bubbles and solubility, but also can add strong cleansing and can be irritating to sensitive or dry skin. I want a medium to medium high % for the palmitic and stearic (subtract "cleansing" from "hardness" to get this answer). This helps make a long lasting, mild bar with a nice amount of dense lather. What's left, by default, is the oleic, linoleic, etc. acids that add mildness and solubility.
For a basic bath bar that works best for me, I typically look for for a "hardness" in the upper 30% to lower 40% and a "cleansing" in the mid to low teens. Once I get that, the rest of the recipe more or less falls into place.
