I stand corrected about rotation being the only way of producing a stable
frequency of pulsation. However, the difference between pulsars and the 
ZZ Ceti stars is that pulsars give strong radio pulses, not optical pulses.
While I agree that optical pulses can be produced by non rotational methods,
radio pulses are much more difficult.
