Does driver size determine sweet spot size?

Again a discussion about a non-defined term: “sweet spot”! What is PS Audio’s definition of “sweet spot”? Has it to do with stereo and HIFI? My understanding of accuracy in stereo is that the sound wave emitted by the left speakers has to travel the same distance as the sound wave of the right speaker avoiding unwanted phase differences when hitting the listeners ears. Thus a “sweet spot” is per definition I learned the tiny spot (point) where circles drawn around each speaker meet! 😉 And the sweet spot is thus found on the symmetry axis and at the minimum speaker-listener distance where the designer of the loudspeakers assumed the phase coherent coincidence of the sound waves emitted by the multiple drivers! Or am I totally wrong?
A sweet spot by any other name is just as sweet!
