A team's responsibilities go beyond delivering good software, a team must also ensure it is always improving in its ability to deliver software in future; raising the standards as individuals and as a group and sharing knowledge, patterns and practices. Pairing is an extremely effective way of achieving this, I've yet to see another way that even comes close.
Quite apart from his stubbornness around pairing, his broad-stroke presumptions about people who do pair, people who are introvert and people who are enthusiastic about sharing their patterns and practices smack of the worst kind of smug arrogance.
It's fine if the author isn't interested in the benefits of pairing, everyone's different. However I don't think I'd be particularly interested in working with him or hiring him.
