Nice!

Hey, Danny Neutron. Who knew...?

That was a nutrient rich nugget, good show! Much more so than any 27 abstracts written in sometimes equivocal nomenclature. Thank you...

Torque balancing sounds like when the spin axis of a spinning body adjusts to effectively minimize the moment of inertia. On Mars, it's probably why Tharsis is on the equator. On a neutron star, it seems likely that the loss from adjusting would be insignificant compared to the angular momentum of such a compact object. As such, the process could be oscillatory? Just spitballing here.
