Shouldn't the 3.0.2 dialect be mentioned here?

The "highest" version is not universally the case, where SMB1 is involved. It would
be safer to say "highest SMB2+ version" perhaps.

I will mention the same in V2.
Something like the below ?
3.02 - The SMBv3.02 protocol that was introduced in Windows 8.1
(Windows 'Blue') and Windows Server 2012 R2.
