It is impossible to find the true origin of where the spoofed attacks are coming from.

This is demonstrably untrue.

If you provide the requisite information to operators, they can look through their flow telemetry collection/analysis 
systems in order to determine whether the spoofed traffic traversed their network; if it did so, they will see where it 
ingressed their network.

With enough participants who have this capability, it's possible to trace the spoofed traffic back to its origin 
network, or at least some network or networks topologically proximate to the origin network.

That's what Damian is suggesting.
