FYI the answer in that link is from 2013, not sure how much it's changed since then but I doubt it's the same today.

- doomroot 5y agoA feature of bitcoin is it’s stubborn system stability and resistance to change :) One of the odd benefits of this is that old forum posts and discussions have a good chance of being relevant. Although I will say lots of progress has been made in p2p message propagation (since this isn’t directly a part of consensus) which could definitely prevent orphan blocks, so you may be on to something in this case.
- kadoban 5y agoYeah, the biggest effects on the number of orphaned blocks should be the number of distinct mining pools and the latency between them. I could see some of those numbers changing enough to matter since 2013, but I'm not all that sure.
