Exactly. It's not that it bypasses the DR, it still needs to go through it (although it might have some Armor Divisor on it, I suppose, that would make that easier), but getting through it is not made any more difficult by having it be Cosmic.

I suppose you could house rule it to work the other way around, if you wanted, although +50% would then be pretty ridiculously cheap. There was a thread some time ago where somebody had a similar misunderstanding about Hardened, thinking it effectively multiplied the value of DR for all attacks, as opposed to just counteracting Armor Divisor.... which past a certain point, of course, would be massively more effective than buying more DR.
