This note analytically derives the impact that wrong and missing sire information (WSI and MSI, respectively) has on the reliability of predicting merit and gain compared with perfect information. In particular, for small WSI and MSI, WSI was shown to have twice the impact of MSI for both reliability and gain, and the impact of both WSI and MSI increased as the reliability of predicting merit with perfect information decreased. The overall impact on the efficiency of gain for small WSI and MSI was half the overall impact on reliability.
