Oh well the answer is obvious, as Ellen Mosque once said, no plane is actually a stealth plane because cameras can still see them, so canards obviously don’t make a difference!
I also wonder about acoustic signatures on these supercruise 6th gen models. Sure, you spend less cumulative time behind enemy lines, but microphones are cheap and sonic booms are nicely all-at-once and loud. Especially if you’re flying nape of the Earth for the additional radar and IR/optical cover.
