This is exactly the problem. It looks plausible. Every sentence makes sense. But they don't add up.

The polynomial has no rational roots - true. But it's not irreducible. Irreducibility doesn't follow from the absence of rational roots. Here's the factorization:
x^5 + x + 1 = (x^2 + x + 1)*(x^3 - x^2 + 1).
I have no expertise with this area, but it looks plausible to me - i.e. "You didn't give me enough info" vs "lol heres some fan fic about math".
