Like it or not, we ALL lead from the heart because that is the way our brains are wired. But some of us have an emotional attachment to logic, reason and science - as contradictory as that may seem. Even so, we still are plagued by bias which is why peer review is such an important part of the system of doing science.
I encourage everybody who is interested in this topic to read a book by David J Linden called The Accidental Mind. It was a big eye-opener for me. It is written in a very non-technical style that I believe just about anybody can understand.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
