Lets assume that is true, it doesn't mean you need or should use pair programming to learn from your peers. Depending on your style of learning, pair programming may work, a visual presentation may work better, or just typed docs for other people.
Pair programming may have originated in the 70's (depending on source), but there are hundreds of years of research on learning, please don't make the mistake of taking something as gospel.
(and in case you would like to point to apprenticeships in the past, they look nothing like pair programming, as it was mostly a subordinate relationship between master and student)
