No, it wasn't.
What you said was, if the 'deal' had been sorted out before the referendum, eveyone would be in a better position now.
So your suggested scenario appears to be something like this -
Hello EU? It's UK here, we're thinking about running a 'Leave Or Stay?' style vote past the folks here, we were wondering, would you like to enter into two-and-a-half years of extremely complex and time-consuming negotiations about leaving the EU, costing millions of Euros, and then sort out a deal, and wait and see if our lot actually want to leave or not?
You'd rather have the vote first, because if they vote to stay, the entire process will have been a waste of time and money?
That sounds reasonable. Thanks. Bye.
I trust that lays out the serious flaw in your argument.
