We believe that the matter in neutron stars is denser than an atomic nucleus, but it is unclear by how much.....
...The pulsar can't be more than 30 kilometers (20 miles) across, otherwise the ultrafast spin would begin to break it apart.

Q: why is it?
A: cos it can't be more
These are theoretical gravity limits, not measurements... and relies groupings of matter way beyond anything empirically stable.
After something a bit simpler, with some empirics?

sound similar?
All you'd need would be for the pulsars of 47tuc to be binary pairs...

The acceleration searches employed by Camilo et al. revealed a much higher incidence of binary systems in 47 Tuc than the earlier searches. Currently, 15 of the 22 pulsars (68%) are in binary systems

just an idea ;-)
spin ups, spin downs, fluctuations, outbursts, etc... all expected.... no need for 25% of C rotation or this other fantastic 'strange matter' that's never been seen.
