Does an RFID tag not require something electronic to read them?

It does and I agree, but maybe its since I just woke up and I'm short on sleep, I read:

well known method for putting a business card on paper that doesn’t require electronics: QR codes.

as:

We don't need any electronics at all for any of this

RFID is silly to put in a card that 99% will forget about and leave behind. QR codes are better as they are just the same ink that goes on it anyways.

Yeah I think that was the original point the other person was making but it sounded like you were arguing against that. I think we're all in agreement, a QR code is a cheaper and quicker method of doing the paper>electronic data connection than whatever the tech in this article is describing, unless they can increase storage a massive amount.

Yeah I probably just had the wrong tone or read it wrong. I am a fucking mess lately so that's probably why.
