I meant "this one" in abstract, not the one in the article. Ie you can easily link an item in a shop to a clause in your policy and an amount that has been paid. There is no way to understand that implications so simply with (eg) quotas.

Sure, if you want to make an abstract, general statement about how tariffs, as a concept have certain advantages, ok.

I don't see how that's relevant to the specific disadvantages the article is pointing out about this tariff in particular.

It's not. It's a point about tariffs in general.

I'd say this view comes from massively underestimating the complexity of the effects on the economy that result from the externalities of instituting tariffs.
