Default Potatoe Seed Size

Does a large potatoe seed tuber produce a heavier crop than a small

The "conventional wisdom" I've seen is that very small "sets" you buy from
a mail-order house are at a disadvantage, and that a whole egg-sized tuber
is optimum to give the new plant enough food to start out quickly. Bigger
than that, and you might as well cut the potato up.
