methods should return one single type of object. The only question: what time should be returned? Or should it be nil?

Hi,

I just stumbled across a strange piece of code, and I am wondering about the reasons behind it:

FileSystemStore>>creationTime: aPath
self 
nodeAt: aPath 
ifPresent: [ :entry | ^ self basicCreationTime: entry ] 
ifAbsent: [ ^ false ].

In what case does returning "false" make sense?
