Forum:Royal Oppresion vs. Inherent Spec.Summ

I've been told over and over again that summoning doesn't start a chain. So is it possible that if I activate a monster with an inherent special summon from my hand, which has a cost to activate (e.g. Dark Necrofear) can the opponent chain it by activating his face-down Royal Oppression to negate it? I've been reading all the rulings on Royal Opp. and I can't seem to find the answer to this question. I know if it's already face-up, the effect can be activated, but I just don't understand why it's said it doesn't start a chain to summon if you CAN chain it. Please explain this to me. Thanks.
