Seems you are trying to understand a stupid thing another human said and
trying to find intelligence in it.
Of course you can pitch a ball even when there is no one there to catch it.
But you cannot catch a ball unless someone pitches it.
You can transmit or broadcast - but no one need be there to pick up the
transmission.
But to pick up a transmission - someone has to transmit.
