It could be simplified. Essentially, he’s doing 2 things. He’s side counting aces for, example, for insurance and other play decisions, and he’s adjusting the betting power of various true counts by accounting for the surplus or deficit, for example, of intermediate cards.

He is suggesting that he can decrease variance by taking more into account than high cards to low cards. By inference, he’s also saying that he doesn’t need accepted spreads to do well.

To answer your question - yes, there is value there.
