Semi-polished Response:
Oh, believe me, this very old but bored squishy human brain dreamed up the whole pigeon relay twist. Mr. AI just polished my prompt into coherent words since aging has an effect on people's ability to think clearly, especially in the "Information Superhighway." Sorry if it robbed you of that authentic chat vibe, that always-in-a-hurry young'uns seem to thrive on.
Unpolished Comment:
In other words, my comment was not levity. Learn to read the room, listen, close your mouth (e.g. flies may get in) and try to understand the deeper meaning in what others say or post before making an assumption.
More AI Polishing: (oh, I know you know)
In case you missed the point, "pigeon relay" is a historical messaging system where homing pigeons carried notes in stages across long distances.
Pigeons were raised at stations along a route. A message was attached to one bird and released; it flew home to the next station. There, the note was transferred to a fresh pigeon headed to the following station, and so on—like a relay race.
Genghis Khan used this to span Asia and Europe. It was fast, hard to intercept, and worked when other methods failed.
Another Unpolished Comment:
In other words, this could be a viable option to transfer information in places where regimes have instituted information blackouts that block all forms of modern electronic and digital communications, such as "Iran, Cuba, Venezuela, North Korea" and other places where crime is a daily occurrence, civil and human rights violations contine and remain unchecked or acknowledged by "Biased People" covertly embedded inside media outlets, especially the Western Media.
Extremely Unpolished Point of View:
Inexperienced and younger people--hint, hint--are usually the first to criticize points of view like mine because they have been taught to think or feel a certain way by listening to a single source of news or point of view. Since I have lived thousands, hundreds, er tens of decades, I have learned the game, thus I prefer to bypass all that crap, ignore TV, ignore most if not all media outlets, and use word of mouth (e.g. people, shortwave radio) to verify what's going on in the world.
Hopefully this should convince you that I am a cyborg and not an AI :)

Sigh, my brain hurts :(
