You are correct, ATC can not declare for a pilot. And I can't for the life of me remember from my CTI education if a NORDO was considered an emergency by the FAA, with or without a pilot's declaration. Hence the gray area, that I won't even bother to go into as yes. . .it's better to fight fire with fire.
