    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
