I agree. For any part of the land - let's say it's a cape triangle with
"a" and "b" being both coastline and "c" being land border - a+b is
greater than c, even if a and b are straight lines.

Another idea could be using absolute measures. For example anything up
to kilometer is a cape and anything bigger is peninsula.

It can be also multi-criteria definition, similar to monument: peninsula
can be anything bigger than that and if it contains at least one cape etc.

Maybe we could also start with real life examples first to know where is
the most common limit of size/proportion etc. for both types.

BTW: if we want to use proportion of length to area, we claim that we
know this area somehow.
