Correct! The protruding box shape is "locked in" at a very high angle of attack regardless of speed, always in stall. This is where slots can be most effective. Just wondering if the high lift to bend the flow tight to the turn provides more benefit than the drag of the canard...but this high drag vector on the canard points verily perpendicular to the free stream flow, and may somewhat cancel on the sides, and lift along the top?
