I don't believe anyone is arguing otherwise.  Miners with a larger fraction of 
the network hash rate, h/H, have a theoretical advantage, all other variables 
in the miner's profitability equation held constant.  

Dpinna originally claimed (unless I'm mistaken) that his paper showed that this 
advantage decreased as the block reward diminished or as the total fees 
increased.  This didn't seem unreasonable to me, although I never checked the 
math.  

Best regards,
Peter
