Why? having a sociopath do something mild like filling out forms all day seems pretty risk less. I feel like jumping to genocide/eugenics is insane when there is such a huge middle ground of solutions to consider.

Did you miss the “bad” part?

Sociopathy is not necessarily a “bad” condition. I watches a documentary where a researcher was testing to see if it could be detected with an FMRI. He was sorting through test results and realized that one of the ones he flagged was his own. He asked his family and friends and they all agreed he was a mild sociopath. They all knew not to play competitive games with him.
