There isn't a well defined distinction between the two, the most commonly accepted one being to differentiate between genetic and environmental factors.

I'm not a psychologist, but you are grossly oversimplifying a very complicated relationship between the two.  You shouldn't assume empathy is impossible for a sociopath.  Mirror neurons can develop in a sociopath, how well they developed in childhood, how well utilized they are, etc is a tricky question.
I;m grossly oversimplifying, lol?  I actually just read the google search report you stopped searching at to respond to me.  Gratz.  No one assumes that it is impossible, it is diminished - for some to the point of inability (which, like sociopathy and psycopathy, inability is not impossibility), that is the marker of sociopathy, as opposed to pyscopathy - though associated disorders can share many traits, which was what you linked earlier in regards to.  What more can be said?

Triple down if you like.  Or just accept a simple gaff brought about by the interchangeable use of the two terms in the colloquial sense.

You seem to misunderstand my point.  As I might have misunderstood the assumption people here had about sociopathy and empathy.
What exactly do you think I am inclined to triple down on?  
What do you think the marker of sociopathy is, as opposed to psychopathy?  It has almost* nothing to do with a larger degree of empathy impairment.  If that was what you were suggesting.
