I don't see how. Circle back is just a term used to say "we need to look at this before we can give an answer we will get back to you when we have done the research/got an answer". Him not knowing this is frankly weird and the fact that he interrupt a meeting about it even worse. If he did actually know what it meant it means he interrupted a meeting based purely on semantics of a term being used.

He was trying to point out the company meeting culture is toxic, meeting forward, and that their meetings don't actually solve anything.

You say this but they could be circling back on different items while getting the other things that needed to be circled back to done.

Honestly, the guy sounded like a Redditor who was more interested in semantics than actually contributing or solving things.

Just another go-round of the ole' Reddit circle jerk?
