For those, like me, wondering what this is about;
> Program obfuscation would enable a host of useful applications: For instance, you could use an obfuscated program to delegate particular tasks within your bank or email accounts to other individuals, without worrying that someone could use the program in a way it wasn’t intended for or read off your account passwords (unless the program was designed to output them).
I relate this to cracking; run a program and watch the memory, see where the password is checked and edit the binary at that location to bypass. So this level obfuscation would make that impossible? Seems like magic honestly.
