The first paragraph is moving towards a debate on the impacts of Brexit. I disagree with your assertions, but I'll leave it there. If you want to go further, we should do it in the main EU thread.
I was simply speculating on what may be an outcome, that has relevance to this debate. I think the SNP want an indyref sooner rather than later, because if Brexit ends up having a neutral or positive* impact then support for independence will fall. I think they'd rather have the referendum now, while things are uncertain, because it preys on peoples' uncertainty and anxiety.
Timing is everything - they were only desperate for an election in December, because Salmond is about to go on trial for some very serious sexual offences.
* I consider a positive outcome to Brexit to be highly unlikely, but hey, it might happen.
