Pair programming is not training. It is not the main function of pair programming. The fact training becomes the most important reason trumpeted for pair programming speaks fully how ill conceited the concept is.
I'm all for training. I'm against 8-hour a day, 5-day a week pair programming. Even if training is so important, developers are not signing up to be a professional trainer.

Pair programming is a tool just like everything else. It should be used when it's effective and not used when it's not. It can be effective at times. I completely agree that 8 hours a day, 5 days a week pair programming is highly ineffective.
