That's all very nice, but..the man in question did not survive this, and these were supposed to be his last words. The story is highly thematic, and not biologically credible. Like I said - not a problem for the loon hypothesis, but a poor hill to pick to die on. Let's just assume there was a man and he was everything you think he was. This part of the story, still...is an invention of deeply jewish authors stressing jesus nature as one of them, a part of the cultural traditions from which this entire set of myths grew. Hey, maybe, if you want to split the baby, we could posit that the real man who was a real loons final words were actually "uuuuuuuugh" - but that had to be prettied up a bit.
