He certainly liked to think so, but one was naturally biased towards one's own decisions and hobbies. Peering over the top of his book, the astronomer observed the Ravenclaw for a moment with unjudging, but concerned, eyes. He could not pretend to be an expert on the matter - especially given that she was a Ravenclaw and those sorted there tended to make little sense to the man - but based upon past interactions with her, he was not buying her 'for science' reasoning. There was always a motive and purpose to Miss Brown's actions, and not because she just needed to tickle her curiosity.
Setting his book down on his chest, and trying to keep the somewhat relaxed atmosphere, remained in his half lying down position on the sofa. "Well, that is certainly stellar to hear," he said, generally speaking to everything she had just said. "I won't deny that I have been a bit...concerned about you recently, Miss Brown. Especially after reading that article in the Prophet..."
He trailed off, inviting her to speak or ignore the breach of the subject. Whichever she preferred. He was not a pusher when it came to such matters, typically, but he could show his Gryffindor level protectiveness when students - those of his house and not - were falsely attacked. At least, he hoped this was a false attack. His interactions with Sabel thus far seemed to indicate as much.
