If a tree falls in the forest, did it really happen?

What does this mean???? If no one saw it or knows about it then it didn't really happen? I've heard so many people say this lately and I kinda get it but at the same time I don't. What a stupid thing to say? If it means what I think it means then there are so many better idioms, no?
