My own personal view is that its going to happen or at least there will be an outcome that will be decided after March 2019, so why bother to argue the facts now?
From a local point of view here in Germany this is what the press are saying (Translated by GF) :
Germany is already seeing a decline in trade with the UK due to the low value of the pound, far more than the damage any tariff would do and I expect that this is the same for all EU countries that export to the UK, therefore a good deal would be one that rises the pound, not one that involves tariffs.
Also this particular commentator doesn't see the EU agreeing in a transition deal as all 27 countries have to agree on that and that rarely happens, not saying it wont but would be almost unprecedented if it did.
There wont be any single market or custom's unions deals so the expectation here is that the cliff edge will happen and that the pound will sink and then go back up again as the news disperses.
My bet is that the UK will not go out on a cliff edge and therefore will do some form of soft Brexit where we pay to stay in like Switzerland or Norway but liking the low pound as I earn in Euro and have had a big pay rise over the last year so even less reason to complain.Warning unicorn meat may give you hallucinationsComment
