The whole point of that exercise was to determine which of the theories
that predict what the internal structure of a neutron star looks like is
more likely

Tom's discussion about pulsars brought back some memories...
Many pulsars exhibit skipped pulses. And one curiosity that I didn't
see mentioned in Tom's discussion is that some pulsars even exhibit
behavior reminiscent of the "sawtooth jitter" so evident

True, but I don't have a 100 foot antenna at home so I'll take their word for
it. Plus, you have to account for a myriad
