This page is erroneously implying that increasing your sensor strength (via an ECCM module) will make you harder to scan down. Scanning for ships is based on their signature radius, not their sensor strength (else frigates would be far easier to scan down than battleships). Fitting an ECCM will have no effect on how quickly you can be scanned down, the only thing ECCM's protect against is jammers (ECM modules). The article also suggests fitting a medium shield extender, which while it *will* help against being instapopped, also increases the ship's signature radius (by 17.5%, 40 to 47), which will also increase the speed and ease at which you can be scanned down.
