Yep, back in 1949 partition noise was defined as an instantanious shift in the
relative currents in the elements of a vacuum tube. Circa 1963 anologous shifts
in current flow occuring in solid state devices were detected as well.
It matters not whether it's partitioning between a grid and plate or base and
collector, random or quasi-random shifts in the current drawn from a current
source (cathode or emitter) and the active current sinking elements
(grids/base-plate/collector) still occur - and are still called partition
noise.
