The lesson is very clear from the evidence.  With SQL NULL is ambiguous 
and subject to intepretation so good design requires that you completely

A project management technique dating back further than I can remember 
was to define elments of languages and tools which were problem ridden 
and forbid their usage.  Quality problems were slashed.
