Interesting! I spent a few years doing ruby in pair programming contexts and never had that problem. It was a great experience for me. I guess we didn't have that problem because pairing both gives you immediate feedback on "too clever" and because it's much easier to understand a clever thing if you do it with somebody rather than coming across it later in the code.
