Heroics? How is carrying through on things that take long term effort anything like wasteful heroics?

It's not. I think we're talking about different things.

Heroics are unavoidable -- sometimes there's no alternative. But it can slip into a pathological state where only heroic effort is recognised and rewarded; and so becomes the norm.

When you say "praising for effort", I thought you were making the same class of error.
