There are some excellent points made here but one thing I thought was missing was that it sounds like all of this is the sole responsibility of the sensei. My impression for a long time has been that half of the responsibility for learning is the student and therefore the student needs to keep and open mind on what the sensei is sharing.

Absolutely. I can be pretty verbose as a teacher but occasionally I like to teach a class in absolute silence to emphasise the point. Learning aikido is an *active* process you can't just sit there and passively recieve what you're being shown. The teacher is a tool but it's up to the students to do the learning.
