Yeah, you’re right, “to be worth considering” is hyperbole. On balance I’d still lean towards “powerful entity whom I have no reason to believe created the universe, probably didn’t lift my forefathers up from bondage in Egypt, might have bequeathed them his Law, and for reasons of its own is adopting the trappings of YHWH” but I would, as you say, be paying close attention to alternative hypotheses.
