It's consistent with the SNP strategy of "everything will change but nothing will change", developed in recognition of the fact that the Scottish electorate has no appetite for the sort of radical constitutional change favoured by many nationalists.

They want to get a "Yes" vote without scaring anyone. Unfortunately, if they do, there will be no further referendums to prevent them remodelling Scotland pretty much any way they want.
