To repair something you don't have to understand the whole, only how the part that broke relates to it. In this way repair is easier than production. But with automation there is a reversal: it is much easier to automate production than it is to automate repair.

An automation does not learn so it has to "know" all ways something can be broken and how to repair it before it performed any repairs. But for production it only needs to "know" one way to produce it.

IOW production scales similar in terms of required knowledge for humans and automations. OTOH repair hits automations with a combinatorial explosion and therfore scales in cost steeper than production, but for humans repair cost tends to scale slower than production cost.
