No, what you suggest is counter intuitive and should never pass a code review.

You're assertion is that it's counter-intuitive to use the database's ability to encode a lack of information to denote a lack of knowledge about the information, and should only be used to denote the information does not universally exist? And additionally that this is so well accepted that to do otherwise would not be accepted by any peers?

If so, that's a fairly bold assertion to make when you haven't provided any any evidence or reasoning to back it up.
