Is software good at amplifying or replacing people?

The idea that a system (software or whatever) of any complexity could lose every person involved in it, exist without problems by itself, and then new people could easily pick it up solely with the help of documentation is laughable.

Software tends to be good at amplifying people, where the people involved don't need ... skills.
