I have some basic questions about the blog tutorial

1 What does edit($id = null) mean, is $id being reset tot null?
2 What does $this->Post->id = $id; then do, make it null too?
3 Why do we check again if the data is empty, the data validation
prevents it from being empty?

Thanks in advance!

http://book.cakephp.org/view/340/Editing-Posts

function edit($id = null) {
        $this->Post->id = $id;
        if (empty($this->data)) {
                $this->data = $this->Post->read();
        } else {
                if ($this->Post->save($this->data)) {
                        $this->Session->setFlash('Your post has been updated.');
                        $this->redirect(array('action' => 'index'));
                }
        }
}
