I mean youre not wrong but this argument can be applied to an absolute ton of chemical functionalities. I don't have time to dig up evidence but I'm sure benzyne has been characterized spectroscopically to determine. I'd imagine it as a resonance structure of a triple bond and charge separated species like you would an ylide or sulfoxide, but neither is wrong

I feel like you haven't experienced 30C+ with 90%+ humidity because it caused a condo full of ~1000 able bodied people to collectively lose their minds against the condo board when the building AC failed mid summer.

But I guess you're right, why should I be considering my silly sensory experience when your superior experience is obviously the universal truth. So silly of me
