More like that distance before you feel any real resistance to movement. Some of that movement would include the free play at the pedal. Both the push pin on the MC and the slave cylinders need free play to perform properly. You won't need much but you will need some. Your system may adjust fifferently and 20mm is only a rough measurement.
