I tap electronic tubes to see if they are good, but you say he tapped >capacitors? Electrolytics I guess, might show issues when tapped, like
poor internal connections.
Interesting hadn't really thought of that as a test for caps...

I used to press the tops of old electrolytic capacitors. When they were
bad they would pop up like the safety lid on food jars after you open
them. Maybe they get soft on the sides on too.

Knocking can be done with an isolated object, like a screw diver
handle. The intention is to initiate any kind of intermittent
behavior, quickly.
'pressing' implies burned - zapped teckies.
Be smart. Be safe.
