I don't think that that's enough.
To borrow a hackneyed example from the literature: imagine that someone spent hours and hours, and a great deal of effort, trying to teach asparagus to speak. I don't think we'd admire his perseverance, because the whole enterprise is worthless.
Of course, the analogy isn't perfect, because we know something about the chances of success in that case and this. But it does show, I think, that perseverance itself is not enough; likewise, effort. The aim in mind has to make a kind of sense as well - and that's where I lose grip. I simply don't get it. In fact, it's more than that. I'm kind of hostile to the whole thing...
