What is the sense of introducing fictional 'emotional psychopaths', if there is neither a relation to Vas nor to somehing in Sunes post? What has all above to do with this thread at all? Wild theories about who is the 'better' psychopath in chess(show?)biz seem to be appropriate for CTF. (BTW I highly doubt the so called 'study' even exists or can barely be called a 'study' in a scientific sense for several reasons. 1. How did they define psychopaths and non-psychopaths there? 2. How did they find people in the stock biz, who would even anonymously confess they were psychopaths? 3. Even if they had confessed, who verified it on what base? ;-) - Give a link to that great 'study') Guenther ... didn't read further after the first weird chapter
