This seems like a minor and meaningless quibble, which is easily explained.
Compared to a major quibble like Samson killing a thousand men with the jawbone of a donkey and then losing his strength when his hair was cut off, which is impossible to explain.
That would be a better argument from incredulity yes.
Much better than the argument of "cannot get there from here" or the argument from "one can only walk in straight lines"
It's still fallacious, and yet a big step up. Congrats!
