I see your point
But are the "most" and "90%" based on actual data? The properties of a cellular structure impregnated with resin could be very different to just resin.

once you remove all the lignin, and fair whack of the celluose and hemicelluse, can you still call it wood?
if you got a corpse, let the maggots eat all the flesh and put the skeleton in a chemical bleach it until was all degraded, then covered that skeleton with epoxy, would you say "hey, we've made a transparent human"? I suspect they're using the term because it sounds more green than what it is
you can add a lot of thing to epoxy to change its properties, no doubt. Fiberglass springs to mind. I'm sure a lattice of degraded cellulose has some effect. But they compared its thermal properties to glass. Id like to see how it performs against similar epoxy polymer sheets to see if it's worth the fuss
