My animator colleague's experience with an est group in the late 70s:

He and another guy got roped in to an introductory event accompanying a est graduates seminar by a hot girl that they were both chasing.

In the side event, between the two of them and another new guy who was there for some reason, this woman with a loud brassy New York broad schtick began priming them to sign up for expensive classes by telling them about the est campaign to end world hunger.

But, he started asking questions into the campaign, and when she avoided financial numbers or concrete details, he remarked that it was "strange".

"Strange?!", she was like, getting close to him and hollering in his face.  "That's a concept, asshole!".

. . .

As he then remarked to me, "But what isn't a concept?".
