How high would you make the arbitrary walls?

So high that the pilot can prove that they did not use more distance for the landing/takeoff.

So you're defining take-off and landing such that each must also include a period of flying?

that's actually how take-off distance is defined regulatory. The take-off distance of a plane is over a 50ft obstacle (i.e. a line of trees at the end of the runway or similar).
