I'd have to disagree with this part. Your opponents will isolate with a wider range than they'd call your raise with. So if your limp doesn't get raised, the pot wouldn't be any smaller, because they would all have just folded anyway if you raised. [Exception might be if the majority of other players at the table are passive fish]. So considering there is postflop play (after you limp), the pots will either be the same size, or bigger.
However, if someone iso-raises your limp, their raise size will typically be bigger than a normal open-raise size. So the pots will be bigger. Plus, you have the option to 3-bet now, to make the pot even bigger. So I would say the pots would be bigger on average.
I'm not advocating limping by the way. I've experimented a bit with that in the past, and I'm neither for, nor against it. I think it could be part of a winning strategy, but probably more difficult to do so.
