> Psychopaths aren't that rare
Any evidence for that statement? Wikipedia and its sources suggest otherwise.

> 1.2% of a US sample scored 13 or more out of 24, indicating "potential psychopathy"
Those 1.2% are only "potential psychopaths" so the real number might be even less. An illness that only affects <1% of a population can definitely be seen as rare.
