It's not perfect, but it still makes more sense to me than the half-glass one, because it relies less on the speaker and listener having the same interpretations and emotional connotations for 'half full' and 'half empty'.
That said, I'm taking it as a description by way of charicatures, not as a literal prediction of behaviour.
Personally, my vote is with the audio engineer: "The glass has 6dB of headroom." (Or is it just 3dB? I forget.)
Oh, I agree that this one too is flawed
