This has an impact in terms of some more refined Mendelian error estimation functions: it's probably more costly to have a few offspring wrong, than just a single sample (the father) wrong. In this case, you might think it's trivial (the probability of having no heterozygous offspring is so low that it's probably the father), but if you have 18 offspring AA and two AT, is it still "trivial"? ...
