Sure you do. Two mediocre programmers working as a pair might get 100k each. One elite programmer can clear 7 figures easily. The elite programmer will also have much more control over the IP they create and be able to negotiate much more stringent terms for how it is used.
If you think pair programming is a good idea you are just at the bottom of the industry.

Yeah, because everyone knows that you have to pay less wages when you have two people do the job of one.
