@isuckatcs I think you are right, at least I tried to give this some thought (actually by trying to construct a counter-example).

```cpp
template <class T>
class Base
{
    Base(int I) {}

protected:
    static Base factory(int I) { return Base{I}; }
};

class Derived : public Base<Derived>
{
    // Derived() : Base(0) {} // Does not work.
    Derived() : Base(Base::factory(1)) {}
};

void test()
{
    Derived D;
}
```

```
<source>:18:13: error: calling a private constructor of class 'Derived'
   18 |     Derived D;
      |             ^
<source>:13:5: note: implicitly declared private here
   13 |     Derived() : Base(Base::factory(1)) {}
      |     ^
```
