First, you're in no position to admit or not admit anything because you don't understand the subject. 

Sociopath is not an accepted term by the psychiatric establishment.

You are totally, totally wrong.  The term sociopath absolutely is still used within the psychiatric establishment.  I hear it everyday on the news BY PROFESSIONALS.  I read it in journals used by professionals. It's used when I have discussions with such professionals. The DSM-IV is the diagnostic "bible" for mental disorders in the U.S, and if you had one clue about how that manual is used for diagnosis, you wouldn't be spreading confusion making so many incorrect statements here.

When was the last time you actually spoke with any professionals in the psychiatric establishment?  Ever?  Well, guess what?  I have (and not for treatment, I might add) and I'm right and you are absolutely wrong.  The term is still used quite broadly.

You really can't go to Wikipedia and then compare it to another online encyclopedia and consider that to be evidence of anything.  Wikipedia has a big track record of getting things very wrong.  That includes information on cults.
