Why do you need the if? Shouldn't the while loop run zero times if have_posts() returns NULL or an empty array?

It's idiomatic to use the if so you can do this

    <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post() ?>
      <!-- do loop stuff -->
    <?php endwhile; else : ?>
      <!-- no posts found, show a default or error of some sort -->
    <?php endif ?>
