[thaumasiotes]

That is not the same word "text" as used in the headline. (Note that you weren't able to say "a text".)

Wiktionary's definition page is something of a train wreck, but if you already know what to look for, the information is there:

> text (countable and uncountable, plural texts)

( https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/text#English )

Of course one word cannot be "countable and uncountable". But your "text" is uncountable, and bisby's "text" is not.
