-The wording on your comment made it sound like you were generalizing, refering to all psychos.

-While I agree, what one calls psychopath may not be a psychopath at all, let me extend it a bit: First of all, insanity is relative and depends on the individual. What is insane or weird for one is normal for another. And second, Cultural/Values Dissonance. Different cultures have different values and as such they care and/or show empathy and vice versa to different things.

For example, the Samurai were known for slicing people appart, children and babies included, just for being in front of them, with no damns given. To us that would be insane, they would be psychopaths, but to them back then that would have been normal, and usual.

So really, the problem is how most people these days confuse actual insanity and psychopathy with perceived insanity and psychopathy, IOW confuse being actually insane, showing enough simptoms to be an official psycho, with what they think is insane or psychotic. After all, while many, if not all, psychos are insane, not all insane people are psychotic.
