Get rid of the pooled SD, and pairwise.t.test() will actually do the
paired tests, although that is not what the function was designed to do.
(Oddly enough, this issue hasn't come up in the 6+ years that the
function has existed, and then it pops up twice with little over a week
between, see the thread started by James Root on March 26.)
