It can be solved by putting in an absolute date. I still don't understand what kind of problem relative dates solved.

They work when relative-times are part of the question or mental model the user has when approaching the system.

Then the user doesn't have to mentally cross-convert between relative measures and absolute timestamps, which is less error-prone and annoying.
