No, his post overrules that. He didn't make a point, in fact he specifically said that he doesn't care about the point.
It's like if I go into a Smiths thread where there's a heated debate about whether Hatful of Hollow or the Queen is Dead is better, and my post says "I don't like the Smiths". Ok champ, thanks for that. It doesn't add to the point instead it literally tells people to ignore your opinion because you're not bothered either way
As in the above post, we'd be forced to charge non-EU countries EU based tariffs. Setting up a new free trade area agreement we'd have that at the negotiating table - we'd probably acquiesce on this tariff but we'd obviously get them to soften their position on something beneficial to us. Essentially if we sign up to the Customs Union we've thrown away a bargaining chip that we could have gotten something else for. May as well make them work for it if it's possible.
You're suggesting that we will be able to agree a tariff free trade deal with the EU and unlike other EU members have no obligation to apply external EU tariffs and presumably be able to negotiate our own deals outside the EU something no other EU member is allowed to do!As in the above post, we'd be forced to charge non-EU countries EU based tariffs.

Yeah it would be pretty daft for anybody to bail at this stage when, however unlikely, we might come out with some miraculous deal.
I've got my eye on a spanish bird who's just moved up the road, how long have I got to nail it before she might be kicked out. These things override any other possible decisions on Brexit that bother me at the moment.

Yeah,right.
You've also suggested the sole driving force behind the negotiations will be economics.
It won't, it will be political as well ( in the same way as the UK decision to leave was more about politics than economics).
