I'm not sure where you get that from. The leave arguments were emotional, the remain arguments were rational. Emotional arguments always win.

Project Fear from the remain side was rational, was it? George Osborne's "punishment budget" was rational, was it? Attempting to delay the release of NI numbers until after the referendum was rational, was it? Instructing the Civil Service to not help Brexit ministers with EU questions was rational, was it?

There are many rational arguments for both leave and remain, it depends on your point of view. There were many emotional arguments from both sides.
