Exactly. It's not a penalty shoot out. The margin of the majority is tiny. Overall the electorate was broadly split among Leave, Remain and Shrug/Dunno. This is in no way whatsoever a clear mandate to leave given that X% of Leave votes were by voters' own admission a protest, and another Y% seem keen to change their vote having had a taste of the upheaval ahead - where X + Y is likely more than 2. Personally I don't think it "disrespects" the original vote, or the democratic process, where margins are absolutely razor-thin to feel an "are you sure?" followup is warranted. 70/30 Leave? Sure: a clear consensus, can't really argue. 52/48? Different matter entirely.
