Or not. After all, Hashem didn't pick that generation for a reason.
Apparently they didn't just sin, but they sinned in a way that made
working with them a bad idea.

And even before that
    Vayehi beshalach Par'oh es ha'am
    velo nacham E-lokim derekh Eretz Pelishtim
    ki qarov hu,
    ki amar E-lokim,
    "Pen yinacheim ha'am bir'osam milchamah veshavu Mitzrayim"

Remember, they were also stuck with a slave mentality.

But I agree with your point, about the self-fulfilling prophecy.

Tir'u baTov!
