The most important point we are all missing here is that if every first born child in Egypt, numbering hundreds of thouands of children, was killed, somebody other than the Hebrews would have bothered to mention it.

"Makes no sense for this man who escaped to go back and challenge the established leadership of Egypt to free a bunch of slaves if he was not either one of them or commanded by God."
