RE: "...there is no defined relationship between earnings and book value..." and "ROIC is an example of an often used metric which defines that relationship."

Your second statement supports the first. Since there is "no defined relationship" (general rule), "ROIC is...used as a metric" to measure the results on a company by company basis. If there were a "defined relationship", ROIC would be the relationship constant.
