"Hmmm. Your device is still going to switch on low barrier height diodes like Schottkys and whatnot at that voltage level. "

Yes, but I am aware of that so it is alright. I did try to lower the applied voltage but then the scope picks up too much noise because I use regular voltmeter type probe for ease ot use.

The usual scope probe is simply inappropriate for checking caps like that. Plus the ground doesn't usually go to ground, like when checking coupling, rather than decoupling caps.
