There is no need of studies to see that pair programming is a great way to pass experience from a more to a less experienced software engineer. It might not be the only one way to tutor a junior, not even the best, but works.

Hopefully you don't work in medicine or in any discipline where lives are at stake.

The irony of this comment is that letting people die via A/B guessing is exactly how modern medicine got to where is today.

You give one group a "cure", the other group a placebo. Whichever group survives or does better is the winner.
