The author shows that the strong correlation observed between the braking indices (n) and the slowing-down ages (τ) of pulsars is inconsistent with counteralignment between their rotation and magnetic axes, but that the data on pulsars with positive braking indices is consistent with alignment. Alternatively, slowing-down noise can quantitatively account of the data on all pulsars except the Crab and the Vela, and so for the apparent |n|≡τ2 correlation observed for the older pulsars.
