"Testing," as you refer to it, is one form of knowledge but far from the only one.
Testing isn't a form of knowledge. Testing refers to an experiment.
An experiment is a procedure carried out to support, refute, or validate a hypothesis. Experiments provide insight into cause-and-effect by demonstrating what outcome occurs when a particular factor is manipulated. Experiments vary greatly in goal and scale, but always rely on repeatable procedure and logical analysis of the results.
I'm not saying you or your wife are wrong. I'm just asking you to prove it...or at least offer some sort of evidence to support your assertion.
On a related note, my friend said that if you step on a crack you break your mother's back. I haven't stepped on a crack since I heard that...and my mom didn't die of a broken back.
