Tongue-in-cheek, I agree .... for the most part, slotted screws are a BAD idea.

I very much doubt the screws were installed by the maker. Most likely an easy fix for a loose board at some point.

Obviously the screws don't interfere with the 5th string tube under the fretboard?

One of the screws certainly looks like it may have gone through the brass tunnel.
My thrift-store style 11 was originally a tenor. The pearloid fingerboard overlay was separating from the wood, so a previous owner tacked it down with a couple of brads at the first fret.
