 Yes, that's where this becomes unsound – you can call the child method
statically, but the parent call assumes a dynamic instance.

This is just my perspective (as someone building a tool that helps prevent
people from shooting themselves in the foot), but PHP should not allow
_more_ unsound behaviour than it already does.
