"Long-term" now translates to "three-month," for many folks.

I like high tracking error, but even that (despite +14% absolute) would make me upset.
Because 27% > 14%. I like high tracking error and that dispersion is way too much to handle, and it's not even an overly concentrated fund. Your everyday investor certainly won't be able to tolerate that type of underperformance. Sometimes it is that simple.
