You're right, they may be. We're not claiming that these are the "right" axioms. Just suppose that they are true, what are the implications? Now suppose some other set of axioms is true, what are the implications of that? I don't think you can logically determine the entire truth of the world, but if you take a few reasonable assumptions, you can determine the consequences of those assumptions, and that is what we're discussing.
