The kids and Elders react was during the period when the fandom itself was still catching up. Think about it, its only the last 3 years Avanna has held the title of her studios no.1 product and only last year Dex and Daina nearly stole that title from her in just 2 weeks versus her entire years worth of sales.

I expect things like this to be take time to go through the system. Sure things like these display ignorance, but bare in mind Vocaloid itself isn't an easy concept itself when you first come across it. Remember this, KEI didn't understand it himself when he had to draw Miku. If you don't quite get it, you risk misunderstanding it. This is why the concerts are reporting Miku is a hologram. even if we discount Miku as a vocaloid, "holograms" are intended to be images made out of light, its basically more or less short for "hollow graphic based light imaging". The concerts can't be holograms because they require a screen still so are not "hollow". In short, think of the Doctor from Star Trek Voyageur (spelling?) or of the old cartoon of Gem which used holograms to turn a normal person into the superstar "gem" via holograms.
