Hypothetical: $company you're trying to use needs to "verify" you using $inaccurateData from $vendor.
You're absolutely screwed if the verification questions you're asked are relying on the "polluted" answers
Similar vein: if the "polluted" data indicates you might be gay or replublican or musilim or into some seriously unhealthy lifestyle choices like smoking and $someCompany decides that you're a smoker and therefore your too risky to insure.
no data >>> polluted data.
