You already said *before* that GR explains any observation. Cite the
references supporting your claims!

Both received a Nobel for discovering of the famous binary pulsar, just
that.

1) Gravitational waves have been never detected. Everything about
pulsar is about indirect tests.

2) Last high precision observations reveals that binary pulsar is better
described by non-geometrical theory of gravity which gives the same
prediction than GR more a 1% excess cannot be explained using GR.

You are the one, Sam, claiming "there has never been a prediction of
relativity that was contradicted by an observation", not me.

Waiting your references that above tests and observation cited in the OP
are in agreement with GR :-)
