After a few half full glasses of Cabernet Sauvignon I began wondering if there is such a thing as half full?
If half full is ok, then why is half empty not ok?
We are dealing here with gradations of a physical state. Just as full can be subdivided down, so too can empty be subdivided up.
Technically you may be right, in a purely literal sense, but I wonder how the Supreme Court would rule if physicists were allowed to participate and make a case for partially filled emptiness.
