> I am sure [that Article 50's flaws] will be revised through treaty change in due course, after Brexit is over. What makes you think that? It's in the best interest of the EU administration to make leaving the EU as painful as possible.

Two sides of a coin: Heads: If leaving is an inherently good thing to do, then the EU had already failed. Tails: If the EU has not failed, leaving is inherently a bad thing to do. There is no need for the EU to do more than look after its own interests. One of those interests would, I suspect, be a treaty modification to make permanent and standard the balance-of-payment mechanism which has enraged many Leave supporters.

  Note that I said "the EU administration", not "the EU".

    I don’t understand the point of the distinction. The EU is administered by representatives from each member state, either by votes from the public or appointed by the governments of each member state.
