227:), the canal is the osseous space inside the superior maxilla (it is a part of the bone) and the duct is the part of the lacrimal apparatus that goes through the canal. They're radically different things and should not be fused into one article.

and this page on the duct, because they're so closely-related topics their best discussed together for context. Distinctions between them can be discussed on the page. Merging here might be best, as this is the better-developed page.

Of course they are not the same thing, but that is not the relevant point. The canal is largely occupied by the duct, so it makes sense to discuss them together. That is, the formal merge reasons are
