Philosophy has some but not all attributes of this–for example, philosophical problems usually don't have the same level of objectivity and settledness, so you don't get the same 60-second level feedback loop of making a conjecture, being wrong, and refining it. That's not to say that philosophers never do something similar, just that it's not required as part of training.
