Pair (and mob) programming makes a lot more sense when you think of it primarily as a mechanism to transfer skills and information about the project.

It's highly inefficient to have new joiners on a project getting stuck constantly. Pairing (or mobbing, if there's more than one new joiner) makes sense at least for the first two weeks.
