I had a judge rule that when it comes time for a spell caster to refresh shell slots (After 8 hours of rest) all the spell slots are emptied out regardless of if the slot was used or not. I had always played only the used spell slots need to be refreshed and the unused ones can be filled with a different spell or left as is.
Have I been playing it wrong all these years, or did this rule get changed recently?
Selection and Preparation: Until he prepares spells from his spellbook, the only spells a wizard has available to cast are the ones that he already had prepared from the previous day and has not yet used. During the study period, he chooses which spells to prepare. If a wizard already has spells prepared (from the previous day) that he has not cast, she can abandon some or all of them to make room for new spells.
Looks like you can choose to not replace spells. I don't see why it would make a difference unless you had limited prep time.

One case might be that he no longer has access to the spellbook from which he prepared a certain spell

Oh yes. That makes sense. I retract my question.
The GM is wrong.

Curiosity--> Since you could just put the same spells back into the same slots why would this affect gameplay?

Theoretically, opponents could attack during the preparation period and the casters would have all the spell slots unusable if this surprise rule is used.
No different for pfs. If you didn't cast it yesterday it is still there. I can choose to loose it and prep a different spell, but I don't have to.
