Perhaps I'm missing something here, but I find it necessary to point something out: lack of evidence doesn't necessarily mean that something isn't a trend. For all we know, asking for a Facebook password could be the hottest trend that everyone is doing, but we'd probably never know about it because no one is collecting any data on the subject. The opposite argument could be made as well. In other words, if someone is making an argument without any evidence, they're basically saying they know something when they really don't. On the other hand, you have to be careful not to fall into the opposite trap: claiming that they're wrong, when you have no more evidence to prove that than they do.
