Seconded. Any time I hear someone has a pet TOE, I dramatically revise my opinion downward - it happened with Wolfram, and now it happens to you. Even the highest end physicists that I'm aware of make no such claims, other than vague statements like "I suspect X is more likely to be correct than Y."

To be fair to Andy, having a "pet TOE" can mean something as simple as feeling one TOE is more "elegant" or whatever. It's not necessarily the case that they are one of those guys who thinks they've single-handedly "solved physics."
