Since the purpose of the infield fly rule is to prevent the defense from getting an easy double play, I interpret "high" as so high that when it comes down to an infielder, he could let it drop untouched and the ball would stay close enough to let him retrieve it and still get an easy double play.

In other words, if it's high enough for me to think about calling it an infield fly, it's high enough to be an infield fly, I think.
