Review Comment:
   I agree a page with `num_rows == 0` doesn't seem like it should happen
   
   However, my understanding of this comment is that it is trying to say that 
there are no non-null values
   
   I don't think I fully understand your comment @mapleFU -- if you think what 
is written is imprecise, could you perhaps suggest some alternate wording?
