Oh, of course. But some oversights have, I think, been reluctant to use oversight in borderline cases because doing so has been grounds for removal of oversight access in a few cases, and it's not entirely clear if that's still the case today. Thus, these borderline cases aren't always oversighted, and if they're not, then viewing the deleted revisions is definitely controversial.
Again, I'm not arguing that SWMT isn't trusted; I'm saying in general that it's problematic to argue that delete/undelete isn't a big deal.
