This is ridiculous -- if the robots need more human repairmen than they displace nobody would buy a robot. The entire point of robots is that they require less human labor.
Software is no different; I've coded many applications that have eliminated human labor. Obviously I still need to code them but the point is that the overall labor is smaller.
