The salesman says the glass is half full.

Wouldn't a real salesman promise that the glass would be full to the rim on delivery?

The accountant says the glass is half empty.

For tax purposes I suppose, but not for an IPO.

The design engineer says the glass has 100% redundant capacity.

No he wouldn't. A marketing weenie might, but an engineer? Never.

The graphic designer says the ad copy is going to be hard to produce because the glass and the water have similar refractive indices, and are making Pantoning the image very "interesting."

Agreed.

The support engineer knows that none of this matters, because the end user is going to spill the glass into their keyboard and open a trouble ticket on the problem.

Confirmed! Confirmed! New and improved idiots, etc.
