Am I to understand that self.f() is a valid way to call a static method?  Can you see how that would run counter to intuition for someone who is familiar with other languages?

Given that, I would make the following (more precise) change:

< It can be called either on the class (such as C.f()) or on an instance (such as C().f()). 
---
> It can be called either on the class (such as C.f()) or on an instance (such as C().f() or self.f()).
