I use the word potential, and not criminal capacity, because he now seems to find Kogami a curiosity. It seems that criminal capability is not his main criteria for choosing. He is looking for people who stand unique, and probably apart, from the rest of the people zombified by Sibyl, whether it's in criminal activities or not. People who have the capacity to rebel from the system in one way or another, to make something of themselves apart from the "mindless and mediocre masses" who live under the system.

So, essentially, an Ubermensch concept.
He's not wrong anyway....yeah Makishima is a bastard but in a society that is cancerous and dying, he's just another tumor that naturally forms.

I find it more amusing if the heads of the enforcement agency and the creators and establishers of Sibyl were publicly Dominated in explosive fashion. If Gen does that in the finale, maybe it'll serve as the final irony in this whole thing
