It's my own personal suspicion as well that if we were to pull out, then anyone exporting to the EU would still have to jump through all the red tape hoops..
...whilst making it more difficult for their counterparts to do business with THEM as they'd have to adapt to any new regs we might bring in.

Of course.
I also love the idea that being out of the EU would make it easier for "the man in the street" because there wouldn't be all these "tedious regulations blah blah blah"

Yeah. Like the US. Where there are no laws at all and no regulations of manufacturing, sale of goods, etc. Obviously.
