[2.1] it happened before any text was written on this page.
[2.2] it happened after some text was written on this page, and
[2.2.1] it did not affect the text, so what we see is exactly the original text.

But what above it?yea, visually it not so clear as the bottom part. It could be wiped. But is weird that it wiped up only upwards in a certain angle.
