The last point is really not a good one.

It would clearly be better to have the chance someone spends a week wading through your code than explaining all the changes you made to avoid that happening. You'll spend more than a week doing that.

I don't disagree with your other points, though. Two heads are better than one, and code reviews are important for a slew of reasons at all levels.

Not really. Trying to explain your code to someone else helps you understand better as much as it helps someone else to understand it. You only explain it at a high level unless there is a complicated part that you might then go through line by line.
