It's not 'is the glass half full or half empty'.
The question is 'why is the glass?'
Once you know this, the first question is easy to answer.
Engineer: the glass is twice as big as in needs to be.
Topologist: that is a plate
Realist: Guys, I think this is piss.
I keep piss bottles in my solvent cabinet
People who call themselves realist tend to be pessimists.
Literalist: The volume of the container is ~50% water.
There's no approximation in literalism! If that glass isn't a beaker, you find the nearest means to measure and.go to town. I'll accept 1 thumb length of water to ait at 1 thumb length minus the thickness of a bank card and driver's licence..
What's in the uncharacterized volume?
