And I still don't see how that is relevant.

If we had a speedy deletion criterion that said that you could delete
articles about apples, would you oppose that because you don't trust
admins to accurately recognize apples?

The rule is what it is.  You're allowed to delete blatantly illegal
stuff.  If you delete something that isn't illegal, then you haven't
followed the rule.  You might get away with it, but not because of the
rule.
