I think Sam being soulless--and okay with it--is a very plausible explanation for what we're seeing on the screen. It was almost surreal to see Sam admit his plan and explain that there ended up being too many variables to try it again. He was trying to convince Dean that he wouldn't risk his life again, but hey, soulless liar, so . . . I like that they had this conversation calmly, with Dean just as matter of factly stating "Watch me."

On the other hand, when Sam said he let Dean get turned so he'd see what it was like to be a monster (the man who was torturer in Hell for 10 years? I think he's already got an idea. The idea that Dean would be fine with this because it made him more empathetic is ridiculous, I'm sorry to say), I wanted Dean to punch him in the face, walk away, and never look back. If Dean should have learned this lesson and gained empathy, then Sam should have learned how hard it is to see a brother turning into a monster. There's being a brat and there's being a sociopath, and this runs over that line and does a dance on it. But then, soulless liar, so there you go.
