The only concepts that I would consider to be absolute and that we can fully comprehend are TRUE and FALSE.
Whenever we apply the term absolute, we apply it according to our understanding, which may or may not be the case.
For example, we have the term absolute zero, which refers to the very lowest temperature and the point where all atomic movement ceases. There may be states beyond this temperature of which we have absolutely no knowledge because it is beyond our current realm of understanding.

I fully agree with you, there is the common misconception.
IMO, the GUT is a holy grail which doesn't exist, but that doesn't stop people going in search of it.
The 4 forces will only be unified when the structure of the atom is FULLY understood. The current models have far too many convenient factors to be a true reflection.
The TOE will provide the information to be able to better understand the atomic forces and why they are what they are.
