Can it explain benzene's chemical reactivity the way standard models can? Why does cyclohexene react with bromine or KMnO4 yet benzene doesn't, unless catalysts and heat are supplied? Can you model benzene derivitives, such as naphthalene? Why does benzene normally undergo substitution reactions instead of addition reactions when it does react? These are questions that chemists can answer by addressing the pi bonds of benzene. You don't even have any idea WTF I am talking about, but you think "it has precessing spinny things, so it must be correct!"
