Well if I say: "I will build a hot-air balloon" then it's reasonable to interpret that as agreeing to the rule "I have to build a hot-air balloon", so if I don't, I'm cheating.
And then it's reasonable to extend that to other kinds of statements, like "I built a hot-air balloon"
Speech in Diplomacy, it seems, is not quite real speech. The default position is that speech is true.
It doesn't, because rule contravention is not the sole sufficient condition of cheating. Cheating involved 1) breaking rules that 2) others are following for 3) advantage whilst 4) disguising the fact.
