I didn't write the programming or the language, but here's my best guess: An inaccuracy is more subtle and less serious than a mistake. It's still playable, and you can probably recover from it, but there was a better line. A mistake is like when you could have taken a piece and didn't, or when you could have forked the king and queen and instead forked the queen and a rook. A blunder is where you put a piece en prise with no sacrifice or combination in mind, or where you overlooked a deadly fork against yourself such as the above mentioned king / queen debacle. And, finally, a missed win is where you stare incomprehendingly at the analysis and then go bang your head against the wall for being so stupid--especially if you went on to lose the game.

Can someone explain in simple terms what the difference between a mistake and an inaccuracy is?
