In the Hammond link as referred to : they point out losses due to "generic silicon diodes" and they say Idc is greater than Iac in a capacitive input filter circuit. Well, maybe perhaps... But that would imply more algebraic variables inserted into the equations, above and beyond the primary mathematical definitions ; as I have described above.
