Its now 1/2 full/empty.
Also - the absence of a unit is equivalent to the presence of a unit, so 2+2 is always 4.

That's kind of a bad analogy.
In reality, every container is always full, regardless of what's in it.
In the typical, "is the glass half full or half empty," argument, the answer is always neither.
A 200mL beaker filled with 100mL of water is full because the other 100mL is made up of air
