The ones she gets fooled in spite of her Instinct (specially that Bad End she gets Rule Broken by allowing her to fight alone as she confidently wished) are on her but right on the rest.
I don’t think it’s an issue on the skill itself but on Artoria’s line of reasoning. Mordred kept mashing hers but got better results either because she didn’t bother to question it or stopped to think what was going on. Like:
>Artoria’s Instinct triggers against Medea. She assumes it’s some magecraft and that her MR can cover it. She is half right; the magecraft were the Skellies and although they weren’t something MR covers, singularly they aren’t an issue. Medea’s placement of them was crucial
>she used Instinct to divine Diarmuid’s moves, correctfully predicting the pierce Diarmuid deal. She didn’t know his spear bypassed her armor.
>Mordred’s Instinct triggers against Semiramis. Mordred doesn’t remotely knows Semiramis intended to drug her master and steals his Command Spells. She just knows witches are dangerous and you should stay away from them because of her own mother (Morgan).
>when Mordred fights Sieg(fried) she doesn’t know anything that was going on and just accepted it but along the way kept dissecting what was happening from the little bits she was getting (the armor could be powered through, the transformation was limited, Sieg made mistakes but the rate was one he’d best her by the 3rd transformation etc.).
In a way experience is what matters the most. Instinct doesn’t tell you how creative an enemy can be. Shirou reasoned that Caster would only go on offense if she has a surefire way to best Saber which Artoria didn’t consider, Mordred would skip the justifications and knows a Witch going on the offensive is bad news.
