I am not an expert using reflection but I think you will need to get an
instance to pass to the Method.invoke command whether the method is
static or not. Is there some other way to invoke the method? It seems
like there should be so that you could use reflection on an abstract
class. It is not required in the case of Peers however since nothing
prevents you from getting an instance of the class. You should be able
to invoke the method regardless of it being static.
