Probably. Had these people quietly grown better, over a period of
days, without any discomfort or extraordinary symptoms, nobody would
have thought it miraculous. Rather as, when an aeroplane crashes,
narrowly missing a crowded area and killing only a few people, it is
acclaimed as a miracle; but when a plane arrives safely at its
destination, without any mishap at all, nobody considers it miraculous.
