I'm pretty sure the first part is true. I see sometimes near-violent 
reactions to pairing from devs. Management folks who object just think 
it's stupid, but many start to get it after hearing some of the benefits 
(e.g. reduced risk, more rapid ramp-up, higher quality).

I always remind myself to sell a little differently depending on the 
audience. Everyone needs to find value personally (in addition to 
understanding the value for the org/team/product).
