I wasn't suggesting that the threshold is 20 minutes. Instead, my comment is that 20 minutes is clearly above the threshold, so this is evidence that there must be *some* reasonable threshold that won't break many games. 30sec? 20sec? 10sec? 3sec? This could probably be resolved with a rather fun short survey of games.
