Why does the following code not output "Error" if the form is submitted with a blank field? Does Len only evaluate numerical values?

<cfif NOT Len(Trim("Form.myField"))>
 <cfoutput>Error</cfoutput>
</cfif>

The following also does not evaluate as expected:

<cfif Len(Trim("Form.myField")) IS 0>
 <cfoutput>Error</cfoutput>
</cfif>

HTML:

<input type="text" name="myField" value="">
