There have been millions of those so called "unconventionals" who believe that effigy worship must be eradicated and call it a bane to the world as the stone hides the truth that it stands for!
But the fundamental reason for the existence of the stone is that the need for it exists. Not everyone can understand what the great Vedas say! But order needs to be imparted on earth. How then would it be possible! The only logical conclusion would be a certain level of abstraction. Abstraction, for the uninitiated, means that only enough information is supplied that is absolutely necessary. The rest of the information is available on request only.
What that facilitates is effective functioning of systems without the need to understand how the system functions. But one would find that to be able to make best use of the system, you would have to know how it functions, hence one takes some extra effort to find out the nitty gritty. With some difficulty, he does figure out a certain information set that he can leverage to his advantage!
The parallel drawn involves the effigy that represents the abstractions and the underlying truth of the Vedas that requires the extra effort to understand!

stone effigy is the structure suited for particular purpose and abstract is the adhoc system which fits all cases *wink*
here, by abstratction, i do not mean making something abstract, but witholding some info and letting know only wat is necessary for completion of the immediate task. much like knowing syntaces of programming languages, forgetting the system codes that they converted into...
