Not at all. It can certainly exist. After all, Gaara had Absolute Defense and Obito, Kakashi and Madara all had Absolute Attack. Ideally, the two would cancel each other out. In reality, though, it would depend on the level of the attack. In other words, the attack is only "Absolute" if the defense isn't equally Absolute.

Gaara's defense would have fallen to Obito's or Madara's attack because Obito's attack (basically trans-dimensional teleportation) is instant. Gaara's defense (his sand shield) takes a split second to form.

It was faster than almost any ninja who attacked him in the past. However, Rock Lee discovered that by removing his weights, he could move fast enough to hit the shield, and Gaara had to rely on his sand armor (a secondary, but more fragile defense that nonetheless was always active rather than activating only when someone attacked) to protect himself.

Thus, Absolute Attack and Absolute Defense cancel each other out... Unless one is faster or more powerful than the other.
