:-) You would be wrong...It is easier to see a change in position
relative to a landmark which is close by, rather than one farther away. 
However, I'm not saying pulsars may not work. I don't know how easy it
is to distinguish eg Sirius, Altair, Sol from the other stars around,
and the distinctiveness of pulsars may be the key factor.
