Resonance theory is bullshit, right? Asking for a friend

no it's not bullshit, the orbitals merge together in a very complicated way. See molecular orbital theory.

Resonance does not actually happen, but for <reasons> it just werks
due to <math>, it happens to be an accurate bookkeeping tool, and a good predictor for reactivity

its like a chemical version of quantum tunnelling to explain how some chemicals turn out to be a bit more (or less) reactive than it would otherwise seem.

Resonance is one of the most beautiful things in chemistry and also kind of important.
