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?
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.
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.
