That's what concerns me. Those who are biologically incapacitated to experience emotion--that is, to experience the irrational (not just fear)--are also impaired in rational judgement. I would expect science to support the completely cerebral approach to rational judgement, but these case studies suggest otherwise. Moreover, you say we are analyzing emotion in rational terms, but how else can we approach emotion? Is it truly possible to separate the rational from the irrational? When we say someone is sensible, is it a rational or irrational element of that person that causes him/her to favor action through rational deliberation over emotional impulse?
