You absolutely can (and should!) send +alloc to self in a class method like this. In a class method, "self" represents the class, not an instance of the class.

This is one reason it's important not to refer to class methods as "static methods," as less dynamic languages do. In Objective-C, all method dispatch is dynamic, even to classes, and is subject to override.
