In this instance, "of course" means "it's common knowledge".  The 
problem with "common knowledge" is that many natural phenomenon are 
counterintuitive so your sense of "common knowledge" leads you in the 
wrong direction.  It is my belief, that pair programming and XP are 
counterintuitive and that is why these ideas encounter resistance.
