True, but that's false logic.

Psychopaths can't empathize, but it doesn't mean that those who can't empathize are psychopaths.

Claiming that everyone who doesn't empathize is psychopathic is fallacious.

Humans can only empathize with those people who exist within their "monkeysphere" (Dunbar's Number). Those who claim otherwise aren't really empathizing, they're just lying to themselves so they can feel they are socially just.
