Question V2 - reference zero = 35' or 50'

Correct me if I'm wrong:
'reference zero' is the height at which the aircraft can maintain flight/climb out of ground effect ...

that is what the whole V2 related performance calculation is based on, not so?

why are some talking about 50 foot and others about 35 foot and should this figure not be different for all aircraft anyway?
or can it be generalised for any aircraft to be out of ground effect at 35/50 foot?

I'd really appreciate somebody enlightening me about the matter ... or, in case I'm totally on the wrong heading, request radar vectors to get back onto the right path ...

thanx in advance
cheers and beers
