Ya know folks, Andrea has a point.

She asked for a pretty specific thing, not the definition of a white paper or
the origin of the term, but just how did we end up using them in the tech
industry. It's likely that question can't be answered by a dictionary or encyclopedia. However, it might be answered by a veteran tech writer on this list.

A few people actually answered the question asked (providing some very good educated guesses). Others answered a different question entirely and added attitude to boot. This is unnecessary. Plus, it discourages people from participating.
