Snoops gives more context to his statements on empathy. He qualifies his statement by saying he prefers sympathy over empathy. He didn't give any explanation.
Interestingly he was correct that empathy is a relatively new word in English (early 1900s) and sympathy is much older (1500's).
If we age going to make a judgement on age alone, I don't want to go back to the 1500's.
