Agreed and
I would add that
Heit adam harishon
Heit ho'egel
:Heit hameraglim
Are all exceptions to the 4 generation limit because they are
paradigmatic.
To me the original sin was Adam's coverup. Similar to shaul he could not
confess when caught unlike david hamelech and l'havdil George Washington
The meraglim is amout LH diba etc.
The Eigel is about unfaithfulness
The mishnah in ta'anis already links 5 sins for 17 ta.mmuz and 9 av.
Iow these are recurring themes.
A simple individual heit otoh has a 4 generation curfew given several
parameters.
