I think that one does because if you need zero hours of human labour then output/(human labour hours) goes to division by zero.





Ah, I see now what you mean; yes, that's a potential mathematical singularity.

Though I suspect the actual number of human hours worked doesn't really go to zero for cultural/psychological reasons, your point remains valid as we will only find out if/when it happens.
