The "problem" as stated is a straw man.  The problem isn't a
dilemma.  It's more of a trilemma, involving THREE things, not two:
1. maintain smoothness.
2. minimize lag.
3. minimize overshoot.
Unfortunately, the Hull Moving Average suffers from overshoot, which
is typical of low-lag smoothers based purely on impulse response
functions.
Statistical smoothers, on the other hand, DO balance these three
features.  Jurik's moving average (JMA) is one example.
