I don't know, given the harm bad data collection can do, I'm not sure being a clinical sociopath is much worse.

What ever data on physiology nazis collected correctly, we are relying on today. Even when very bad guys collect data properly the data is usable. When it's on-line bragging by people fascinated with 'negs'... not so much. It is a required condition that data is badly collected; the guys trying to be sociopaths does not suffice.
