    You've fallen so in love with this ideological position ("always bet on text") that you can't even recognize where it doesn't actually apply. The idea that those five words capture the photo is absurd. douche on Sept 26, ... So yes, bet on text, but don't assume that because text is fundamental that it is simple.
