I said a few weeks ago that, in politics, a generation refers to the length of a government. 5 years is a political generation as every new government brings change. Are you suggesting that we, the electorate, shouldn't get to change a government every 5 years if we think things are not working?
Salmond wasn't referring to a political generation though (and it's news to me that there is such a thing). He described the referendum as 'a rare and precious moment in the history of Scotland - a once in a generation opportunity to chart a better way'. He even suggested in was a 'once in a lifetime' opportunity in an interview with Andrew Marr.
