"Table 1 is extracted from a pair-programming calculator developed by the author." One could claim that the author made up numbers to support the author's argument. And hasn't pair programming been around at least since the 90's? doesn't seem that new to me.

"Object Oriented" programming has been around since the '50s. [1] "Functional Programming" has as well. [2] And the "Waterfall" development model also has its roots in the 1950s. [3] "Extreme Programming" (1996, and a book in 1999) [4] was the first popular methodology to advocate "100% pair programming" as a major component. (I've read the book: They say that you have to use all of the practices, all the time, if you want "Extreme Programming" to work.) Point is that, depending on how old you are, the late '90s can qualify as "recent."
