I cannot tell if you are talking about closing the airport, or closing
the tower.

It's quite clear from his post (for once ) that he is speaking of closing
the airport, not the tower. That is why he wrote things like "a
closed...towered airport", and "closing the airport...during the time the
tower is open".

How would you "close the airport" during the time the tower is open if
"close the airport" actually meant "close the tower"?

This is much more common than you may think. It happens with some
Class C airspace as well. Chattanooga, TN is one example that I can
think of.

Rest assured, Steven is *quite* familiar with the concept of part-time ATC
positions. As much as he drives most of us batty some times, there are few
issues regarding ATC that he doesn't know more about than anyone else
posting here (and he would never admit even to those few).
