You've excised the first part of that line of 35 USC that says something to the effect of "not withstanding that set out elsewhere in this statute".

The UK SS60 does the same thing, "Subject to the provisions of this section" (SS60(1)) means that you have to read the whole part, even down to UKPA Section 60(5) which makes it clear that experiment and personal use are allowed (not withstanding bad caselaw to the contrary that someone may raise??).
