If 'ToE' refers to a Theory of Everything, then how exactly could there be 'the Theory of Everything of physics?
Age, surely you are being overly pedantic?
If one wants to speak about a Theory of Everything, then being careful, and even painstakingly, in one's analyses I suggest would be a necessary part.
A so-called Theory of Everything of physics, from my perspective, is NOT being careful AT ALL, and if you want to call me picking up on this MISTAKE being 'overly pedantic', then so be it.
Being 'pedantic' would, obviously, all depend on YOUR DEFINITION for that word, and being 'overly pedantic' is, obviously, VERY RELATIVE.
And, without ALL of the necessary information being provided, FIRST, a carefully constructed Correct answer to your CLOSED, LEADING and/or RHETORICAL question can NOT be supplied, to you.

Is not the ToE the central question in physics today?
A Theory Of Everything could be considered one of the central things being sought out within the topic of 'physics', in the days when this is being written. Along with a Grand Unified Theory is. But, what is relatively, to you, back in those days, 'soon' to be DISCOVERED and UNCOVERED is that a Grand Unified Theory Of Everything actually turns out to be
what Is and ALWAYS WAS, ACTUALLY and IRREFUTABLY True, Right, AND Correct.
Oh, and by the way, the ToE is NOT ANY question in physics at ANY time. let alone a central 'question', 'today'. The ToE is just a 'theory' and NOT a 'question', and if 'you' want to call that being 'pedantic' or even 'overly pedantic'. But it IS what IS ACTUALLY True, Right, AND Correct, which is a LOT more than can be said about what you have said and claimed here.
I asked 'you' an OPEN QUESTION, for 'you' to CLARIFY, of which 'we' are STILL WAITING FOR. So, "alan1000", surely 'you' are being overly DECEPTIVE and DEFLECTIVE here, correct?
