750ml bottles make smoother beer than stubbies?

I read this from Chimay's website when talking about its magnum bottle.

If you think that Magnum is just a Chimay Blue in a 150 cl (51 fl.oz.) bottle, you are forgetting one essential fact, for it is important to appreciate that a large volume of beer affects the development of taste in the second fermentation of the beer in the bottle and gives it a fuller and smoother character

I bottle all my home brew in stubbies with the odd exception.

I 'bottle' in 19L containers.

The flavour definitely changes over time, the hop bitterness subsides which is why you would say its smoother.

I'd say the difference between stubbies and longies would be very subtle.
