Hi,

I've seen and done this in SQL, particularly Dynamic Input tool.  This is done there because it's just a template for the tool initialization and "1 = 2" string will be replaced at runtime.  If replacement doesn't occur then there won't be any rows returned because 1 = 2 is always false.  If you're putting this in a filter tool then you're guaranteeing False.
