No, it really isn't a theory.

Arima explicitly states that his brain scans showed a highly-developed Right Supramarginal Gyrus (the portion of the brain responsible for Empathy). So that isn't even remotely up for debate, because Ishida gives us that piece of major neurological information without any ambiguity.

Kaneki is wired to be a highly-compassionate individual. It's been, throughout the entire story, a major aspect of his character. He is the Hanged Man, the Hermit, the character that follows a path of Discovery to learn both sides of the story.

We don't need another Eto. If he suddenly becomes a monster and a sociopath, then.....what's the point? He no longer serves a point in the story, unless we see Eto removed completely and Amon become the protagonist.
