Of course the opposite is true from those who insist on minimum periods, often a generation, between such votes being put to the people.

If democracy is this hotbed of cutthroat self interest, old people can’t complain if young people overturn their decision, and indeed vote against the interests of “older people” at the soonest opportunity (if they so wish).

To retain bad decisions and flawed economics out of “respect” would run counter to your overarching view.
