Unfortunately, that is only a very beginning of the Roth-Rubens point 
count.  It does not even address the full method with respect to opening 
bids, and doesn't give any indication of the large changes that occur in 
evaluation for responder and for rebids (chapter 4A: "The Heart of the 
Matter" in the text).  No, if you want to know what the Roth-Rubens 
method is, find a copy of

Roth, Alvin and Jeff Rubens, _Modern Bridge Bidding Complete, 
Introducing the Roth Point Count, with a Foreward by Edgar Kaplan_, 
(Funk & Wagnalls, 1968). LoC 58-21644.
