There is nothing to debug. The palm exclusion zones are doing what the
documentation says that they are supposed to do.

I find this behavior undesirable and I'm looking for a way to turn palm
detection off. In other words I would like to make my whole touchpad behave the
way the gray region of the picture does here:

https://wayland.freedesktop.org/libinput/doc/latest/palm_detection.html

Since there is apparently no way to disable palm detection with gsettings the
way there is for natural-scroll, tap-to-click, etc. I'm forced to choose
between
1. putting up with a touchpad that ignores about 1/4 of deliberate actions
because they started in an exclusion zone,
2. attempt (and probably fail) to modify libinput and recompile from source or
3. switch to a distro that does not use libinput.
