Right. I've updated my code to be more correct:
instead of:
if not start_time:
 start_time = default_time
it now reads:
if start_time is None:
 start_time = default_time
which operates correctly and works fine for my case, I just thought it was odd that one time out of all of them evaluates to False. I too wonder if it's by design or not.
It's definitely not documented if it is by design.
