aha - thanks for pointing me to that page. It does behave as that page
describes...

I can indeed get the cursor to move when starting a touch in an exclusion zone
if I move my finger fast enough, also as that page describes. Why is it that
speed is the metric used to classify the touch as not-a-palm? 

Comparing to the way my MacBook Pro touchpad behaves on MacOS, there seems to
be an equivalent "exclusion area" where the cursor will not move as you slide
towards the center of the trackpad from the outside, but the cursor starts
moving simply once your finger has moved far enough (i.e. once the finger is
outside the exclusion area, wouldn't it make sense to start moving the cursor,
regardless of the speed?)
