Can a knight act on the turn it is built or promoted?

Several experienced players agree on this; there is no official ruling.

A promoted knight can act if it was already active, because promotion does not change its active or inactive status and you may promote on the turn it was built. A newly built knight starts inactive, so it can be activated that turn but cannot act until a later turn. A knight can only be promoted once per turn.
