Actually Tom, woodworkers have used this technique for many years and it is where I first heard the term. Since then I have also seen people use it while honing knives. I only use it as a tool personally but it is in fact a valid technique that many people use across varying disciplines. Like taping a spine, using a secondary bevel, whittling hair or HHT, pastes, synthetic vs natural. All seem to be tools that are there if you want to use them. But again, to answer your question, I think the term far predates SRP using it. IMO
