I have not found a way to use "coupling and cohesion" as an objective
metric.

I have. Read my papers on the topic.

If module A depends on module B, then A is coupled to B. If B canges a lot, then those changes impact upon A. If A does not need to change, but is forced to change because of B, then we have coupling that we'd like to get rid of. Creating an interface IAusesB that B implement and A uses isolates A from many of the changes to B.
