Absolutely right. BTW, the word "absolute" has no meaning in ANY kind of
measurement. Even to measure the height of a person is, although a very simple
experience, not absolute: you just compare him with a pattern of measurement.
And then, maybe, you say he is taller or shorter than this another guy. Which
would be an "absolute" height?

Else: which could conceivably be an absolute measure of chess strenght? Perhaps
comparing every chess player with God's chess ability. But, who knows? Maybe He
is not so good after all. Other business to attend.
