Potatoes do not grown new tubers along the stem

Yes they do. Many do, just not the ones you have grown, nor most that are commercial varieties. Solanum tuberosum ssp andigena, S. phureja, S. stenotonum and many wild potato species do.
Here's one that likely IS from a commercial variety.
I don't need to keep reposting the other evidence. There are now several threads/posts on this forum detailing photos, videos and other published material from researchers who have detailed these facts.
Including the two threads I linked to yesterday, there are now at least 4 threads where you have tried picking fights over this issue. I do not mind disagreement, nor do I mind showing my shortcomings and lack of knowledge in many areas. This however, is not one of them. There have been numerous people involved in these discussions, including breeders and growers, some having done so for 50+ years, growing more potato varieties and species than can likely be written. The body of evidence is overwhelming to those with open minds. Here are two more of these in addition to those linked to above. I had hoped that you might be open minded enough to give your experiment another try with varieties that are better suited to this. I find it disappointing that you so easily dismiss the offer.
