Actually it's the brain. The heart would not even pump if it wasn't for the brain. Not to mention you use your brain to think - so it is logical to assume that if he is referring to 'figuring something out', then he is talking about the use of the brain - the Most Important muscle.
Anyways, if you're relating love to the heart, Smith hated love, right? He thinks it's all dull and boring(insipid), so I'd hardly think that he'd think that love is the most important thing, even if he thought the heart was the most important muscle.
No you can't - Not yourself anyhow. A machine must be used to keep it pumping artificially.
EDIT: Oh, and if your brain is dead, YOU are dead - All your memories, your emotions, everything that forms your personality would be gone. The body is just a shell to protect that which matters most and keep it functioning through the use of a power source called oxygen All those other muscles are there to keep the main one alive. But at the same time, the brain has to work for it's survival by telling the other muscles what to do.

You've got it the wrong way around, Husky. Your heart can stop and your brain can continue to function for a little while. If brain death occurs, YOU ARE DEAD.
Smith knows zip about love. He's aware the human emotion exists and comments on it in Revolutions.
The "muscle" that counts referred to in Reloaded WAS the Brain.
Smith says "Still using all the muscles except the one that counts" when Neo asks what Smith wants.
Obviously you do NOT need your heart in figuring STUFF out.
Please stop making threads about nonsense.
Thank you.

Look, buddy. Everyone knows that he's talking about the brain. Get over it. Look at the context. I've never known that kind of comment to refer to any other muscle anyways. Why would it be talking about the heart/emotional centre if they clearly demonstrate that Smith hates all the emotions etc. that humankind demonstrates later(and earlier).
The brain is not a muscle.Period. Except if you can move things with your mind because that is what a muscle is. The type of tisue that is used for producing work by movement.
What you don't seem to realise is that the Brain is THE muscle, it is the ONE THAT MATTERS. No other muscle would even move without the brain. And for your information, the brain can move, it contracts all the time. What the hell do you think a headache is? The brain contracting/swelling. You are right that it isn't a muscle in the literal sense, but it is THE central piece of meat that makes every single other muscle in your body work. FACT!
