> So, since 2012 this is now a requirement.
It was a requirement before the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act, which is what is meant by "pre-AIA". You stated that "'best mode' is not a requirement for a patent at all" which was incorrect pre-AIA and remains incorrect in the AIA era. Disclosure of best mode remains a statutory requirement, even though it now lacks enforcement.
Your citation is of MPEP 2165, which is what I had referenced earlier. Thank you for sharing a direct link for others to review.
