This is incorrect.
When static is used within a class declaration, it signals that the method or 
attribute is class global. This means that the attribute is shared between 
all instances of the class, and even exists when no instance is created. For 
methods its means that the method is not called on an instance, thus the 
method has no access to none static members, other than addressing them 
somehow over another instance.
