If we did it your way, the text would go in backwards.

Since we are using insert before, we have to insert back to front.

Given a string:

AC - we want to insert B into the middle

Split where A is beforeNode and C is after node

inert after before the old text Node:

CAC

insert new text before after node;

BCAC

insert beforenode before insertnode;

ABCAC

remove old text node

ABC

Hope this helps explain.
