Nope, he's answering the same question.  The lower picture is the way you
want it wired.  Picture your power distribution system to be like spokes of
a wheel.  Power supply is in the middle with wires running to each module
from this central location.  Works best.

Paia is know to be a balance of price and performance.  They used the
series wiring scheme to keep costs down, and keep things less complicated
for the builder.  Parallel is much better, but requires the use of an
additional distribution board.
