I don't think gut and heart are the same thing. There's head (objective analysis of facts), heart (I want it so it must be right) and then there's gut which which is difficult to define exactly but I wouldn't call it emotional yet I wouldn't call it analytical either - its sort of a locus of wisdom and common sense.

In the absence of facts, I go with gut. If I have enough facts I go with head but gut has veto power. But that's now. The first 30 odd years of my tortured life was my heart leading me on wild goose chases while obscuring from my head the obvious destination of those chases.
