    I thought the half full, half empty thing. Was about the flow of water. If you’re emptying the glass, at some point the glass will be half empty. If you fill the glass, at one point the glass will be half full.

      It’s a thought experiment with a static partly filled glass of water, it isn’t in a process. It is intended to show the different ways of describing the amount of water.
