Stilted, but what does it mean?
What does 'It's a matter of some conjecture' mean?
I heard it on TV and believe it's a loftier way of saying 'It's a matter of opinion.'
Do you agree?

Yes, I agree. It reminds me of a contested post we had a week ago about the word "speculation," which sometimes means the same thing. "Conjecture" is sometimes associated with magicians.
