What many people have done is point out that countries like Norway and Switzerland have come to their own arrangements, and that a Norway-like arrangement could be brokered for the UK. 
 
I appreciate it's a subtle difference, but there it is.

Well that's exactly it - there is no one-size-fits-all arrangement for non-EU members of the EEA.  It depends on the unique circumstances in each case.

 The thing that concerns me is both these deals were a prelude to join not leave,  leaving will be a nightmare,  they won't make the process easy,  if nothing else to put others of doing the same and it'll take years to get any sort of deal achieved let alone a good one.
