After quarter of century as a developer with 1/3rd of this time in pair programming teams I can say that's not true.
Works goes faster when you work with another person even if for the fact it is harder to procrastinate.
And problems are always easier and cheaper to solve the earlier in the process they are caught.
Then there is the simple fact that a well executed coding review will take significant portion of the time it took to make the change. Most coding reviews are really only cheaper because the reviewer is just skimming the code to see for obvious faults. So it is not really apples to apples comparison.
