half full is the same as half empty.
it does not matter what you do with the glass.
But if you want to introduce a new definition go ahead.
In this definiotion you should also take care of the case that a glass is neither filled and neither emptied and still half of its contenue is filled and the emty half is not filled.

Logically - if you start with an empty glass and start to fill it - it is half full. Therefore if it starts full and you remove some it becomes half empty.
Whilst many people may argue the point it is the action and starting point that dictates the status.
Ther analogy however was introduced to indicate the difference between an optimist and a pessimist.

Cute, but no. it still depends on the commentator's choice of words and conveys a sense of perspective...
"He pumped gas into the tank until it was only half-empty, then stopped."
"After the vial had leaked for several hours it remained half full of noxious fuming potion."

It started out empty, and when it breaks, it will be empty. It has an eternity of empty ahead of it, let it be half full for while.

Asked the same thing a while back: half full if filling, half empty if draining.
