Look, since apparently you hate truncation and never allow it (except when you do it), I'll explicity state what I'm taking about.

The Apollo module = Apollo Command Module + Apollo Service module. Now on the Saturn V, you also had the Lunar Module below that. However, for the Apollo Soyuz missions you had the Command Module and the Service module mated with a Soyuz capsule.

But the real problem is that you are quibbling over semantics (truncation = bad) that have nothing to do with the argument. For the 5th (and last) time, the Space shuttle has capabilities that other available rocket craft don't. End of story. You have not refuted this, so I'll just naively assume you agree, cause your arguments (if you call changing the subject and talking about something arguing) don't hold water. If you want to tell me the Shuttle is a failure, fine, give me numbers and stats that prove what you are talking about. Otherwise, don't bother.
