Your interpretation might be right, but Apple's vagueness might be strategically hiding things they know would be even more unpopular, if revealed. Still, there's the question of what additional assurance this "manual review" is going to provide, if the Apple personnel only have exactly the same metadata/scrambled-representations as the software has, and not the raw images. They couldn't detect a false positive with that info. Perhaps it's just an option for Apple executives to exercise an extra level of courtesy (or leverage) over the famous & powerful, after seeing the alarm plus the account identity?
