The law holds for human orgs for a reason beyond "communication". No business unit that is asked to contribute to a project would allow its contribution to take a form different from a discrete, quantifiable module. The 5-person team in the lecture came up with a 5-pass compiler because none of the 5 people were willing to have an unquantifiable contribution indistinguishable from having not shown up to work in the first place. The case with software classes and components is different. None of those inanimate object care if their contribution is measurable, so the law does not apply as strongly with respect to them.
