"Not be any accidental appeals" applies only to missed bases, not regular play. In regular play, a fielder could still, obviously without intent, happen to touch a base to which the runner is forced. The runner is out, intent/accident or not.

In fact, there never was an accidental appeal. It was actually an accidental force play (or out at 1B before the BR arrives).

Bingo. A D3K is not an appeal play.
