But you have written class methods, so instances doesn’t come into it. Seems 
possible that there’s a fundamental misunderstanding involved here.

What you’ve described (a base class that provides a generic interface, with 
specific implementations in subclasses) is eminently doable - in fact largely 
the entire point of object-oriented programming - but perhaps you should simply 
be doing this using straightforward instance methods, not class methods?
