If a weather report is shouted in a forest, and there is nobody around
to hear it, is it really a weather report?

I guess what you mean is that if the observation is made but not reported
to someone other than me (as the pilot), then the requirement is not
satisfied.

Or, to put it another way, if a weather report is shouted in a forest,
and there is nobody around to hear it, is it really a weather report?



Is there documentation supporting the concept that the report has to be
made to some government facility directly, and not relayed to ATC via the
pilot?

Thanks.
