A sociopath, in plain language unadorned by the psychiatrists' hocus-pocus, is a person who does not know right from wrong, at least as regards his own behavior.

That description is actually more along the definition of a psychopath.

Sociopaths, which research shows to be 4% of the human population, are noted for remorselessness, and a general lack of empathy towards other human beings.

You are correct in the decription differences between sociopaths and psychopaths. Sometimes its not all that clear.
