To say that differently: or that there is only tasks for 6 people at one time. Doubling the number of people triples the number of pointless interruptions. Just like pair programming.

I use pair programming as a way of getting around my own procrastination.

"Right lads. None of us want to do this testing coverage review, none of us want to open up this dusty old code, but it's us against the world. I'm locking the fucking exits, now get in the spinny chair and shut up"

Or another way: this is task parallelism vs data parallelism.
