Normally a player rolling a total of "7" must move the robber from one hex to another, but with a Knight card can he be sent back to the same hex?

The rules for using the Knight card state the following.

When a player plays a Knight card, he must move the Robber.

Since they did not say that the player may move the Robber, I would take that to mean that you cannot keep the Robber in the same space and it must move.

Note that, however, if you play a Solider/Knight, move the robber, then roll 7, the Robber can go back to the space it was on before the Soldier/Knight first.

In Settlers of Catan, is it legal to use a Knight card and return the robber to the same hex he was already on?
