In the engineering profession, it would probably mean without job; in
science, without publication.

The number of watts inside a coaxial transmission line
is understood by any any rational person to be distributed
over the area of the coax. With a fixed-given unit-area,
the Poynting Vector is customarily given in watts, not
watts/unit-area. The same thing applies to watts within
a laser beam.

You are probably right about published white papers. You
are wrong about the engineering profession. All engineers
need to do is get close enough.
