  Students in a pairing class were given the same programming assignments as students in a non-pairing class. Examines the programs written by the students. One unexpected but significant result: students in the pairing class were significantly more likely to turn in solutions for their programming assignments.

Here is what he says about it: "Pair programming requires intense interaction between programmers. Programmers are people. They have opinions, sometimes strong ones. Those opinions probably aren't universal. So, programmers need a way to handle disagreement productively. In this paper I suggest a simple rule: rank your opinions."
