It could push back more, true. Although it's role in pair programming is the driver, you are the navigator. I often begin a session with exploring and asking it questions of the code as I would a junior developer.

Saves this old man from typing anyway.

That’s not pair programming as I use it. Pair programming is where two people work on the same code directly and bounce ideas or critique each other.

If I do something that is not ideal the other person will catch me, and I do the same in return. I kinda see it like rock climbing.

This is how I always did it too. When the whole does it every day, juniors don't stay junior for long!
