Aren't there still some living Argentine citizens who don't have DNIs? [I suspect that there are still some people who may be or were Argentine citizens by birth but do not have a DNI.] And just because someone has been issued a DNI previously does not mean that the person is necessarily still a citizen of Argentina.
I am very curious what would happen on arrival at EZE if such a non-citizen of Argentina would arrive in Argentina with just a US passport and Argentine birth certificate but has no DNI (to their knowledge) and no reciprocity fee prepayment proof. Perhaps the time to try this is with a ticket internationally transiting Argentina at EZE with a 12+ hour connection in Argentina to a neighboring country; and then merely attempt to enter the country to see what they do.

As long your US passport lists Argentina as the place of birth, you don't have to pay the fee. I have dual citizen and I'm always use my US passport, I never have a problem and the birth certificate is not required. On the stamp, they will write this (with a pen) "ARG - 180 dias".
