This cutted version feels like none of these persons said anything that is in the video, because the statements (or even words) are "out of context". I just can assume the author of the video has good intentions and did not change the context.

I really liked this. I doubt I would have had tie to watch the original, but yeah... it does rely heavily on the integrity of the editor.

I hear a lot about the LFTR, and I wonder what the problem is. Is there a major technical hurdle that prevents this from seeing widespread use?

Sometimes there is, sometimes there isn't. Sometimes a really good idea never gets used because... well... because nobody really picks it up and runs with it. It's that simple sometimes.

But sometimes there's some hidden gotcha.

FWIW, I recently watched one of the talks this is spliced from, and it seemed fairly accurate.
