I distinctly remember reading the Foundation novels and thinking that people, a whole civilization, couldn't just forget technology that quickly. No way! But reality is that it erodes constantly at the edges where the required knowledge only exists in one person's head. Combined with a corporate love affair with layoffs, there isn't a built-up institutional knowledge that is recorded and passed on. You can get away with ritual and a prayer, but eventually something breaks and nobody knows why.
I always laugh at what companies skimp on, compared to the labor costs lost to slow tech.
