That's a good explanation in real life, but there's no way in hell that'll be introduced into the show. It defuses too much of the drama to say, "Walt couldn't help himself, he had a brain tumor."

There's an interesting angle on the Mike vs. Walt issue—just as Walt apologizes to Mike, Mike also apologized to Walt last ep when he handcuffed him to the radiator. Plus there's the "I've got to hand it to you, Walter" at the beginning of this episode. My read is that both characters reluctantly respect the other…

I can cite the same dictionary definition ranges as you can, starting with the lack of a clear distinction between sociopathy and psychopathy.
