If all philosophers are talking about is how underspecified words are, that is fine, but there's little value in it. Language is not designed. So a word is underspecified. Nobody can fix it.

But I was under the impression that philosophers thought themselves more than mere dictionary debaters. Whenever I hear about this problem, my impression is that at least non-zero of them think there is a problem with the actual concept of knowledge, not merely the word.
