Yeah, definitely agree here. That's why I've been putting qualifiers like "if it was full in the first place" in - if your ER is down a few points when someone takes it away, you don't get those points back when the removal wears off. In fact, I'd probably say that any sort of removal of ER (Neutralize, Affliction (Negated Advantage: ER, etc.) hits your "full" points first. That is, if you have a 5-level ER, of which you've spent 2 points, and someone hits you with Affliction (Negated Advantage: Energy Reserve 2), you're going to lose two "full" levels, leaving you with only 1 ER point to spend. If you treat the "top" levels as being the empty ones, then I think there's too much temptation for characters to always burn off the top one or two points of their ER, and just have those empty levels as a buffer if they get hit with something that takes away ER.
