I think pairing all the time is one of our most important competitive advantages.
Thank god somebody finally makes a rational case for XP practices.
So much of the XP adherents amounts to hand-waving and foot-stomping. It's good to see somebody say "this is making us more competitive"
I've yet to see a similar argument made about TDD. It may be that TDD makes more sense as an add-on to pair programming (with ping-ponging) than as a stand-alone practice.
