We do use the metaphoric (and actual) voltmeter to test propositions.
-for soundness.
@"What is knowledge" - hey..it;s a good question..but, again, whatever a person says it is is all well and good as an answer..but there is a requirement to be consistent to that answer after having given it. There's plenty of room for philosophy...absent sound propositions, consistent application of principle, and unambiguous descriptive language.... it's just noise, though, not philosophy. It's that kind of "philosophy", I think, that leads people to sour on philosophy.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
