Why do you think pairing person alpha and person bravo will magically result in person bravo acquiring the skills of person alpha? Among all the possibilites, you might just bring person alpha down without improving person bravo at all. Then, you've made everyone more inefficient.
I didn't state it would magically result in that...i'm sorry if that's what you inferred; however, i've found in the past that good people teaching about some subject tend to learn more about the subject in the teaching of said subject. Like anything else, teaching / mentoring / pairing are skills...those could be horrible as well.
