Well, I guess you are right that there is no "conversion" between a string to a query, but it is duck typing which makes CF "know" how to handle the variable as a query the first time you loop over it etc...

Quack quack. This isn't really "duck typing". CF is, for all practical purposes, typeless, so this is no different than CF's behavior everywhere else. There's no interface in common between the string and the query object that are sequentially placed within q1, we're simply overwriting one value with another.
