That's a generous way of looking at it, imo. If you're working through stuff, you absolutely will get things wrong. That's true in languages, in programming, in learning anything.
Stopping when you make 5 mistakes is a very bad thing when you're trying to learn.
The way I understand it losing hearts prevents you from progressing too quickly. You can refill hearts by practicing content you've covered already and hence strengthen your basics.
