Re. algorithms (disclaimer: I haven't followed through the link yet), we in computer science used to say: "Garbage in, garbage out." Your program could be buggy, your input could be incorrect or even just incomplete, and the output will be in error in either case. (Speaking of incomplete data, the statistical definition of "bias" is pretty much just data that's skewed due to being incomplete.) "Garbage in, garbage out" isn't really especially about computers, however: it also applies to reasoning, and to human processes. Kinda wish it were more widely known outside computing, or even in contemporary computing given that it's more of an oldschool proverb than something kids get taught in code "bootcamps" these days.
