Are there any cases where a datatype comments field can have a len(comments) == 0 and comments != False?

I have a test in the non-custom comments field of:

Code:

if not dest_mi.comments or len(dest_mi.comments) == 0:

I can't recall if I did this, not knowing any better, or if Kovid added it because I didn't. In Python, wouldn't the comments field always be False if its length was zero?
