I thought the main problem they envision with the wing design is that the passengers off centerline would feel acceleration forces of a much greater magnitude during turns and banks, etc. Currently, the passengers are around a maximum of 15 feet from the center of rotation, but with a BWB design of size comparable to the A380 or 747, a passenger on the outside would be around 100 ft from the center of rotation. A bank that would raise you 2 feet in window seat on a A380, would flip you up 20-25 feet on a BWB. 
(Is the barfing smilie gone?)
Not so bad for a cargo hold, but passengers might not appreciate it - even if they could see it on the lovely HD monitors built into the seatback in front of them.

EDIT - although looking at the photoshop at the top, it appears that the passenger compartment would be only a little less than half the width of the plane, so not so bad as I spoke of above. I got my misconceptions during my Aeronautical Engineering classes when we designed a Flying Wing cargo plane with the cargo bay full span so it could be unloaded from the wingtips. That one would have been very uncomfortable.
