It was known to be lost. :) He didn't expect Ne6 most likely, but even if DB had played it, I'm sure he was convinced he could win, because he could beat Fritz with black. h6 leads to a game that everyone considers dead lost for black. As a result, I would annotate that move as h6??, or perhaps against a computer, as h6?!. with a later change back to ?? after it lost decisively. Some just apply two different standards to the two players. Kasparov is allowed to play brilliancies, and lemons, and that's ok. DB can't do the same, as if it does, it must have had help for the brilliancies, and for the lemons.
