The quark descriptions having +2/3e or -1/3 e charge seems contrived.


Note that the quark description is intimately bound up with the so-called
"resonances," some of which are baryons consisting of different
combinations of the six quarks:

Each position in this triangle corresponds to a short-lived baryon with a
different mass, some of which have shown up in particle accelerator
experiments.
