But, unless difficulty changes, the blockrate changes.
If you keep the entire existing network, and say I'm 0.002% of the hashpower; I'll win 1 block per year, losing 99.998% of blocks.
If the whole rest of the network goes away except me, it'll take me 1 year to mine a block. I lose 0% of blocks.
But in either case, I mine one block per year.
