UIView scale to 0 using CGAffineTransformMakeScale

Is it possible to scale a UIView down to 0 (width and height is 0) using CGAffineTransformMakeScale?

view.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeScale(0.0f, 0.0f);

Why would this throw an error of "<Error>: CGAffineTransformInvert: singular matrix." ?

Update: There is another way of scaling down a UIView to 0

[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:nil]; 
[UIView setAnimationDuration:0.3]; 
view.frame = CGRectMake(view.center.x, view.center.y, 0, 0);

[UIView commitAnimations];
