Sure, but you're not manipulating the Null, you are manipulating the field. Try adding a number to it. Try concatenating a string to it. Null is not a value. It is only a perception of the lack of any given value or other attribute.

It's like manipulating any other value, other then it technically can't be set back to null. Which doesn't diminish it's perception as a value, you can't change an Autonumber either (there are ways to do it, but there are ways to set a field back to Null too...)

That makes Null a value.
