Of course the runes as graphic representations is just one view. But the runes are just symbols for an underlying structure. Every culture is bound to explain the workings of the world in some kind of structure. I prefer to think that there are some absolutes in these fundaments rather than having to deal with a completely solipsistic subjectivist world.
To explore the fundamental structure, what different cultures think of it, likenesses and differences, the runes are a convenient vocabulary. No more, no less. So until someone comes up with some better suited symbol set to use for discussing such matters, I'll continue to use the runes even though they are a blunt instrument.
