the mistake of entering a quickly retrieved, unreliable input into a deliberative, reliable algorithm is not the same mistake as entering a quickly retrieved, reliable input into a deliberative, unreliable algorithm.

quite a mouthful - can you simplify this maybe?

The sentence immediately after it is a paraphrase of the sentence in your quotation:

To make a deliberative judgment based on a mere unreliable feeling is a different mistake from experiencing a reliable feeling and arriving at an incorrect conclusion through an error in deliberative judgment.

Is that also too complex?

try this:

To make a judgment based on a not reliable feeling is a different mistake from experiencing a reliable feeling and drawing an incorrect conclusion through an error in judgment.

or presented like this:

the process of making a judgement on a feeling:
not reliable feeling -> judgement that ends up being wrong because of some unreliable feeling data
is not the same mistake as
reliable feeling -> judgement that is an incorrect judgement.
