Erich’s pursuit is irrational. Why? Erich would choose his hand over the world; assuming that Erich values his body more than his hand and values this treasure less than the world, it doesn’t make sense that he would sacrifice his bodily health in pursuit of this treasure.

The conclusion is Leslie’s criticism of Erich: “... your quest for the treasure is irrational.”

This is premise. Leslie uses this to support the conclusion that Erich’s quest is irrational.

Leslie isn’t discussing “regardless of the gains.” She demonstrates that the gains would be less valuable to Erich than what he is losing.

Leslie speaks comparatively, not in absolutes. She doesn’t claim that the treasure has no value. Instead, she shows he is losing something more valuable for something less valuable.

Leslie is trying to convince Erich, but she isn’t claiming that he can be convinced. She employs her evidence to convince him, not to show that he’s persuadable.

This accurately rephrases Leslie’s conclusion. She structures her argument to show that Erich’s quest is irrational.
