the new chain will eventually outgrow the old one
This makes sense. Thanks for explaining it. The important point seems to be that a fork needs sustained period of majority hash power enforce its rules.
Thus the blocks on the old chain are replaced by the ones on the new fork.
This comes with a reorg of some length because the old chain that miners were working on gets orphaned.
