exist, in reality there is something average between them and now think that should really be the basis of this, some real structure?.. of course the three-electron bond!!!).
The three-electron theory of communication accepted for granted the existence of three-electron bonds (one axiom), everything else is derived logically.
The need to introduce three electron bond in the description of the benzene molecule can be understood (to some extent) reading the book (Chapter IX «Chemistry») Loren R. Graham. Science, Philosophy, and Human Behavior in the Soviet Union, Columbia University Press, 1987.
Short and interesting in Chapter IX «chemistry» of this book Loren R. Graham describes the concept of resonance theory in chemistry (description of the benzene molecule), as well as its criticism of the Soviet period.
Loren R. Graham Professor at MIT (USA) on the big Material of actually analyzes full of dramatic story of the interaction of dialectical materialism and Soviet scients in the period from 1917 to mid-80s.

Here is a quote Pauling:
«We can say that the molecule can not be satisfactorily represented by any particular structure of the valence bond and stop trying to tie its structure and properties of the structure and properties of other molecules. But, using valence bond structures as a basis for discussion, we are using the concept of resonance can give an explanation of the properties of the molecule, directly and simply in terms of other properties of the molecules. For us, convenient, for practical reasons, talk about the resonance of molecules among several electronic structures.»
Heres another quote Academician Koptyuga:
British journalist: «If you look at the history of science after the Revolution, you will see several cases of political interference in the fundamental research What do you think, could this happen again?»
Academician V. Koptiug, Chairman of the Siberian Branch of the USSR: «You see, this is a very complex issue
When in the past with philosophical positions criticized the concept of resonance in chemistry is, from my point of view, it is true.
But when a general philosophical position of trying to solve major scientific problems, such as whether genetics science or pseudoscience, it was a mistake.»
