Reply To: Cora's Plan and Regina's Solution

However, I am VERY bothered that Cora was able to speak such emotional truths when she doesn’t have her heart.

But we’ve seen Cora display a sick kind of affection for Regina. I think the fact that she doesn’t have a heart leads her to call the girl silly and goad her into making irrational actions. (Not that Regina didn’t make that call all on her own.)
