Oh absolutely. I wouldn't remove emotion. Can't remove emotion.
I think the danger is people who believe they can. People
sometimes believe they're logical when they're not. I have a
brain map SOMEWHERE that shows the "circuitry": the feed from
the amygdala to the prefrontal cortex is a thick and fast
connection, but the feed going from the prefrontal cortex back
to the amygdala is very thin and whispy and a slow connection.
In short, it's not easy to use reasoning to control emotion.
Yet, not impossible: but it takes lots and lots of training to
strengthen the connection. So to me, even the most purest
logical thinker is generally not thinking purely logically
because I don't think that's cognitivaely possible. Even the
need for the emotion of certainty: it's an emotion. Emotions, to
me, are always the ruler, even if they are invisible to the
person.
