if it applies to wiles proof
it then applies to ZFC
ie with out proof of all the statements -ieTaniyama–Shimura conjecture- then ZFC cant proove anything
if wiles gave a proof using an unproven Taniyama–Shimura conjecture-mathematicians would have said he did not give a proof as one of his statements was itself unproven
so
mathematicans must then say ZFC cant give any proof as some of its statements are unproven
VERY SIMPLE
what applies to wiles must then apply to ZFC | Here we go again...
