No one is saying that. If a future government, after this referendum is enacted, wishes to ask if we want to re-join the EU, they can.
already addressed this, which you ignore again. Funny how it’s ok for you to be selective.
The result has been enshrined in law, in a parliamentry democratic vote, therefore no longer advisory

Parliament didn’t concede sovereignty, it legislated to hold an advisory referendum. It’s free to hold as many as it pleases in future. That’s the point of sovereignty, it is supreme authority.
If it decided to hold a referendum and didn’t agree with the outcome it’s entirely within it’s prerogative to change it’s mind for any reason it considered appropriate. It would also be the ultimate arbiter of what reasons are appropriate.
The point “enshrined in law” ignores what I’ve been saying all along. It can repeal, withdraw or amend any existing legislation where there is Parliamentary will to do so. This will happen in the coming weeks.
