Isn't the (simple) LTC method equivalent to counting distributional points using the (Goren) 3-2-1 scale and then adding 1 point (the value of a doubleton) for each "cover card", i.e. each ace, non-singleton king or non-singleton, non-doubleton queen? 
Zelandakh has often made the point that the (M)LTC method is a terrible point count method in disguise. For example, here.

My point, if not expressed clearly, is that I'd never simple LTC by itself to decide to open a hand. It's more a qualitative measure for me to be considered with all the other pieces of information that go into adjusting hand evaluation. For example, the non-opener hand I posed (x KJ QJxxx QJxxx) is a 6 loser hand, but still not an opener.
