Yet to suggest reversing this decision despite it being proven beyond doubt to be based on lies, is still heresy in mainstream politics.

It would be a betrayal of the Russian backed Brexit, sold to the nation by traitors, morons and the tax shy.

It's not heresy, it's just pointless to say it. Given it can't be "reversed" even if there were the political will to do so.

Depends what you mean. We could have another referendum go back in. We probably (but not necessarily) won't get the exact same deal we had but we could definitely rejoin the EU.

Why could we absolutely not? 

Because it's not up the voters of the UK whether we are members or not. 

And while it is a subject that could be flipped every five years on the whim of an electorate that is happy to judge EU = good / bad as lazy shorthand for what they think of the Prime Minister of the day, they're comfortable leaving us to sort that shit out until there is consensus, one way or the other.

There is no "referendum to go back in". There is plausibly something like "general election manifesto commitment to negotiate accession terms, subject to future confirmatory referendum". Probably in six or eleven years time. 

Don't hold your breath, either way.

It's not within our power to go back. It's not our club, it's the EU's, they have to accept us going back and agree the terms of it.
