Far too much inherent ambiguity and misunderstanding over what people are meaning when they talk about "the deal". There is the sense that people seem to think that "the deal" is an ongoing one, and the only one that will ever be needed. Far from it, whatever happens, we will have to go through this all again in the near future.

Exactly, which is why it is all smoke an mirrors, the “Withdrawal agreement” just facilitates, or should just facilitate, an orderly departure from the EU.
Everything else is totally up for grabs, but we will be doing that from outside the EU.
So orderly departure or not, everything still needs to be negotiated.
There’s no such thing as a “ no deal” Brexit, that’s why it’s just a tactic to stop Brexit totally.
There’s an agreed and orderly departure, or not. Then a deal.
