I think the criticism is more that the way things are being articulated is the same kind of language that’s being used by people to make things sound more interesting than they actually are. At least, that’s how I interpret it. I don’t think at all it has anything to do with being stupid. On the contrary, it’s usually the smarter people that can see through the smoke screen and realize “oh he’s just talking about 3D printed wood”.

It's a fair criticism IMO just done in a rude way (again, IMO.) - - - - To me "just" in that sentence would be (IMO) a signal that the speaker hadn't thought things through deeply enough. The jargon word "circular" is the clue. It's not just about the 3D printing of wood, or biodegradable glue, it's about a sea change in our economy and technology to be in harmony with (for lack of a better word) Nature (and therefore durable on large (10K to 1M years) timescales.)
