“Sociopaths have a concept of getting caught, and they try to avoid getting caught. Why isn’t this sufficient? Why have an extra emotion, a feeling that inhibits you even when you don’t expect to be caught?”
It seems to me that by having this emotion, you always “get caught”, which is much more effective at preventing a certain behavior than only being caught occasionally by others. Sociopaths must rely on others to police them, typicall people police themselves.
