Why 3 inch vs 2 1/2 inch half shafts?

I've been told that the 2 1/2 inch shafts are actually stronger than 3 inch shafts.

Why were 3 inch shafts used?
 
I thought the bigger, 3-inch half-shafts were used on big block cars to handle the higher torque they could put out.
 
Whoever told you that the 2 1/2 inch shafts are actually stronger than 3 inch shafts is wrong.
