In Ricardo's example, England and Portugal already exist and will not change significantly. The number of producers is basically constant.

In the human/robot example, given such a huge absolute advantage to the robot, we would just build more robots. That would be vastly more economical than having humans do the things that the bots are much better at, but isn't their highest aptitude.
