Final Approach
The 20 mile number was obviously picked to illustrate a point but following your logic when will I be on final approach? 5 miles, 2 miles, 1 mile, 2000 feet, airport boundary?
That seems to where the ambiguity is originating from. As I agree that it would be difficult to argue for 20miles people seem to have different opinions on what is reasonable.

In the IFR world, the final approach fix is approximately 6 miles from touchdown. Perhaps it’s an apples vs oranges comparison, but I suspect that based on this it would be improbable that anyone (FAA or judge) would agree that an aircraft beyond this distance, whether VFR or IFR, would be considered to be on a final approach.
