I haven't read the whole thread and I am not an academic but noone has talked about the reason I have used DCA at times when putting significant sums to work -- it's emotional. I will just be so pissed if I pick a bad time that I prefer the averaging.

Some of each...more active than passive...but basic premise is still there. If you buy a lot of actively managed stocks (long) at the same time its close enough to the same problem.
