Amusingly, it's primarily the Remain camp's predictions of total economic catastrophe that have proven false.

One might even describe it as "emotionally charged rhetoric"

The majority of the bad things that the "Remainers" are worried about haven't taken effect yet. The vote happened but things are largely unchanged. I don't think you can use the last several months as proof that the worries of those who voted to Remain were incorrect. That's the same logic as those people who blamed Obama for the 2008 Bailout, when it was very clearly in motion for a long time before he even took office.
The remain camp predicted total economic catastrophe after the actual Brexit. You can't say anything about it is proven yet because it's still a few years in the future and will depend on the negotiations, what Scotland does, how ongoing law suits will go, and so on.

I didn't knew that UK had already leaved the UE. When was that?
