The thing is, there's already selection pressure against psychopaths who can't conceal their true nature.
We didn't eradicate malaria or polio with kinder, gentler methods. Don't leave anything for evolution to work with.

There has been strong selection pressure against homosexuals for a long time, and i include both their likelihood of being oppressed AND their unlikelihood of engaging in sex likely to result in children.
Psychopathy in an intelligent person is probably a benefit to the individual at the expense of slightly lower benefits from group cooperation. Then put the psychopath in a position where he can influence competition against other groups, and the thing is a positive for the group being thus led.
