An erroneous speedy doesn't need DRV - any admin can restore it. (This is so that speedy patrollers don't have to be infallible.) This is of course problematic for non-admins.
Only if they don't know a friendly admin. There's a category for admins willing to undelete stuff in response to a reasonable request (yes, I know, first find your category). It's not too hard, though.
The point is a fair one, though - we can't do without RC patrollers tagging the enormous volume of crap created every day, so we have to be at least reasonably understanding of the possibility for good-faith errors, and fixing such errors does not imply any criticism and should not require the user to chop down the tallest tree in the forest WITH A HERRING!!!
