Slughorn rarely listens to anything that doesn't fit in his point of view. He let a cauldron explode once even though I repeatingly told him that his instructions were messed up at one point.
It would seem a logical assumption. Then again, the fact that he ranted on about taking him at his word ma mean he is unable to think beyond the realm of what his instruction manual says.
At least Professor Snape encouraged the why questions as long as they were asked within a decent framework.
Yes, I suppose that would work. However, I feel that seeing we are practically adults now we should be able to question the why's of spells in order to better understand what it is we are doing. Not only that but so we can tweak what is needed later in life if the necessity ever arises.
I think it's all in how you ask the questions. You kind of have to tailor the way you ask questions for each professor - and know when it's best to ask them after class.

Because if it were you'd need to show me where it hurt you so I could kiss away any residual injury.

Perhaps some soothing salve would work nicely.

If I ever get too bored I may go in early one day and mislabel reagents for the days work just to see if he notices.

Just warn me before you do so. I'd hate to be the one who gets a face full of exploding ash.
