Harry,

You have misunderstood the importance of psychiatrically diagnosing
early tendencies to psychopathy in infancy with the aim of setting
campaigns about maternal care in motion, and so prevent the
ever-increasing numbers of adult sociopaths or psychopaths the world
over. You are taking the term "sociopath" as though it were an
insult, It is definitively NOT an insult, but a PSYCHOPATHOLOGICAL
CONDITION, like phobia, hysteria, paranoid schizophrenia or Korsakoff
Syndrome.
