Loose coupling and modularity

The following two sentences are taken from Modularity#Modularity in Technology and Management and show a contradiction in the relationship between loose coupling and modularity.

This one indicates that the more loosely coupled, the more modular:

Unlike a tightly integrated product whereby each component is designed to work specifically (and often exclusively) with other particular components in a tightly coupled system, modular products are systems of components that are “loosely coupled.”

This one indicates that the less loosely coupled, the more modular:

Organizational systems are said to become increasingly modular when they begin to substitute loosely coupled forms for tightly integrated, hierarchical structures.

I believe that the second highlighted sentence is wrong. Anyway, the contradiction has to be fixed to improve the article's quality. --Antonielly (talk) 13:22, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Response: The second sentence indicates that loosely coupled forms are used instead of tightly integrated forms, thus increasing modularity is associated with increasing use of loosely coupled forms, consistent with the first sentence indicated above. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Modwiki (talk • contribs) 19:07, 2 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Board Games

Should it be listed in the article about how some Board Games use a Modular design? DrkBlueXG (talk) 16:27, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
