Can you place a starting settlement on a fog island in the 5-6 player Seafarers setup?

Two replies in one thread agree on the setup rule; no official ruling is quoted.

No. Initial placement is not allowed on the fog portion of the board, whether the tiles are visible or hidden. Gold tiles start hidden, and fog tiles cannot be discovered during setup.
