43. As to the wisdom of attempting to explain such a subtle domain of results, we cannot do better than quote Hoffmann's advice: Hoffmann, R. J. Mol. Struct.: THEOCHEM 1998, 428, 1-6 I can only give you the advice: try, please try. Take the existential plunge, the hazard of proving an explanation. Do numerical experiments to probe your wild notion, to be sure, but don't be afraid, forward a simple explanation.
