At what height does the definition of 'EFATO' cease to apply and the definition of a 'forced landing without power' kick in?

Because I believe that there is a concensus on the thread that the majority of pilots would better landing straight ahead +/-30 degrees after EFATO.

Bob Hoover level skilled people and those trained to do so (with capable kit) excepted.

And assuming that straight ahead/ +- 30 degrees did not in itself involve a higher probability of disaster than turning back.

So what's the definition? 800', 1000'? or is it type specific?
