Joseph's main conclusion is that Fermat was lying or mistaken when he claimed to have proved his theorem. Joseph believes this because no one has been able to prove the theorem since Fermat's time, suggesting that it might be impossible to prove.

This is a sub-conclusion that supports Joseph’s main conclusion that Fermat was either lying or mistaken in proving his theory.

This is factually incorrect. Joesph provides support that “no one else has been able to prove it”

This is a sub-conclusion that is supported by the premise that no one else has been able to solve the theorem. Then, it supports the main conclusion that Fermat was lying or mistaken.

This is not an objection that Joseph anticipates or answers. It is a sub-conclusion on which he bases his main conclusion.

This is factually inaccurate. Joseph believes that no one else could solve this theorem. That is why he argues that Fermat was mistaken or lying.

This supports the argument’s main conclusion that Fermat was mistaken or lying. It is not just background information.
