sitting next to someone while they code
Then that's not pair programming. Pairing is an act of give and take, Ying and Yang, Ping and Pong, and sometimes Tweedledee and Tweedledumb. Sitting next to someone looking over their shoulder solving a problem that you know the answer to is not pair programming. There is no act of mutual discovery at all.
