Your assertion that it makes no economic sense is just plain bollocks.
Butting a barrier up to your second biggest export market, and a pretty big import market is a good enough reason, forget the balance of payments issues that the rUK will have. That would be political suicide for the rUK prime minister or chancellor.
I guess the Yes website doesn't have an Economics 101 course.
Glad to see you've managed to forget the balance of payments issue. Now you just have to recognise that the Scottish Market will still be there -although reduced in size.Comment

So England's market in Scotland will stay (but reduced in size) but Scotland's market will disappear
