That's not the point

The point is: Close <> Destroy
In fact, with modal active close does hide the form (and sets modal result)

In anyway it does not say "until the method close is called".
It says "form is closed" never mind how it is closed

    "closing a form" is not the same as "calling close()"

"calling close()" is only one of many ways to "close a form".
e.g during Modal, you can set ModalResult.

Depending on close the property CloseAction = caHide, a call to Close(), 
does in the end actually call Hide (or set Visible=False). The call to 
Close can (optional) destroy the form. But the actual closing is done by 
making it invisible.

So who says, that calling Hide() is not a way of closing the form?
It does the same thing. (the 2 calls have different additional side 
effects, but that is a different story)
