...by that last remark, I mean that if you take 500 true damage and you have 75% resistance to all other damage types, then that 500 true damage is equivalent to 2000 physical or magical damage, and would be counted as 2000HP of "effective health" lost.

If your armor and MRes are different, then they have different values for "effective health", making the fictional construct sort of complicated.
