1-10 could just as well say "Any player (as a Game Action) may
declare that there are elephants to the left".  Such a declaration
doesn't mean there /are/ elephants to the left, unless the rules
explicitly say so.  Contrast the next paragraph of 1-10:

       Any Game Action which has not been declared invalid by the above
       within the allowed timespan is considered to be valid in every
       way, even if it is in contradiction to the rules.

Granted, 1-10 is several types of unclear.  Proposal coming up.
