  The World-Class University/Hanyang Project launched in Korea in 2007 led to
what's now called ``pseudo-conformal model" that addresses dense compact-star
matter and is confronted in this short note with the presently available
astrophysical observables, with focus on those from gravity waves. The
predictions made nearly free of parameters by the model involving ``topology
change" remain more or less intact ``un-torpedoed" by the data.
