Comment:

 I think there is a misconception here - using `self::`, `parent::` or
 `static::` for a method call does NOT make it a static method call.
 Calling a method using these keywords is about scope resolution in a class
 hierarchy, not about whether a method is declared as `static` or not.

 It would be a static call if the method was called like so:
 `WP_List_Table::get_default_primary_column_name()`
