"Big data" was the biggest "appeal to authority epidemics". fortunately, it seems that now people have a more balanced view on small vs big data. Way to often I heard "Google uses Hadoop, so you need to use it to" for companies with data good for an old laptop. Now I hear a bit of "appeal to authority" when it comes to monorepos.
