That answer is incorrect. Common law can only be created by courts.

Moot pedantry. Nobody said this creates state level common law, in the US or elsewhere.

Just that this forum uses a common law styled system - and even added "think of X as..." making clear this refer to this analogy, not to official state law.

Uh huh. And, as tptacek said, dang and tomhow are the courts here. So what they have consistently ruled is the common law here.
