It depends. It the point of the article is very narrow and focused, there would be limited number of ways to say the same thing. However, if the topic has many points, it could be re-written ad infinitum.

They can be written differently in a finite number of ways.

This is almost true in Latin, but in English there are only a few variations that make sense before the statement becomes meaningless. For example, take my first sentence:
In Latin this is almost true.
In Latin almost true this is.
Almost true this is in Latin.
This in Latin is true almost...etc.
But:
Latin is this true almost.
Is true Latin almost in...etc.
See what I mean?
