The point that John makes is that the canards are very slick and there are additional concerns that are somewhat unique.
There was a canard a couple years ago that blew an oil line at 5000 AGL and made it to a normal landing on a runway 16 miles away.
Yeah, they all seem to have specific traits and trade-offs, for sure.

Now, ask Thomas about his landing speeds....(airliners have about a
