I don't think it's impossible to remove some text and insert some other text somewhere else at the same time, I just think that it's two different revisions. It's like saying, "Go to the grocery store and buy the single item of an apple and a block of cheese", that's an impossible task because an apple and a block of cheese are two different items. - Galle
