I'd have been impressed. Our issue is not that Jesus would not have been impressive if he really performed miracles. It's that stories of people who perform miracles are a dime a dozen, and on close investigation they always turn out to be hoaxes or to have natural explanations. The issue is why should we think of the third-hand stories of Jesus as true when we don't think any of the others are?
