See my basic Gib hand.



First issue - rebid-1♥ shows 3-card plus? why not 4-card plus? Such a inaccurate description is very easy to cause many serious confusion, now here I would better take two examples.
Hand-1


See 1♥ and 2♥, both of them show only 3-card plus, so got a very bad result.

Hand-2



Why not rebid 1♥ in the similar shape hand? God knows its reason.

Second issue - Both of 1♠ and 2♥ say there are 6+♠ and 4+♥.Posted Image

Third issue- See the definition of 3♦, how many ♦ are there ? so it is a incomplete definition.

Fourth issue - 3♥ says there are 5+♥ and 6+♠.Posted ImagePosted Image

Wild guess: Given that the negX promised both majors, I assume the style is to bid 2M with a minimum hand and four cards. Hence 1M would normally three-card support exactly, often a weak no trump. Seems a reasonable style in a strong NT system.

However, that doesn't excuse the descriptions: 1H should be 3H, not 3+H, and I have no clue why responder's subsequent 1S should promise six.
