Well BCNext is far smarter than me, unless he says that he cant implement a practical indistinguishability obfuscator, who am I to say that he cant?

The article you yourself posted says it's not ready for commercial applications:

"However, the new obfuscation scheme is far from ready for commercial applications. The technique turns short, simple programs into giant, unwieldy albatrosses. And the scheme’s security rests on a new mathematical approach that has not yet been thoroughly vetted by the cryptography community. It has, however, already withstood the first attempts to break it."


BCNext from what I understand isn't even cryptographer. I doubt he would have any clue how to approach this.
