IMO, the biggest reason we have for thinking that the software will be fairly tractable, is that we have an existing working model which we could always just copy - if the worst came to the worst.
Agreed, although it will be very difficult to copy it without understanding it in considerably more detail than we do at present. Copying without any understanding (whole brain scanning and emulation) is possible in theory, but the required engineering capability for that level of scanning technology seems pretty far into the future at the moment.
