Dad: Son, how does the longest chain propagation take place in Bitcoin?
Son: Wow, Dad, that's an unexpected question...
However, A blockchain-fork and chain reorganization can also happen without malicious intent if two miners happen to find a block at the same moment.
At that point, the network's nodes are split in opinion what the best chain is, since each node considers the block it first saw to be the correct one.
Once another block extends one of the two chain-tips, the network converges on the best chain as the nodes hear about the new block.
