it depends.
It's OK to persist in science. But what if you are harming yourself (or others) in pursuing a goal you are just obsessed about it? (like a bad relationship); then the answer would be no.

in addition to the Edison light bulb thing he was quoted as saying, I didn't fail at making a light bulb, I just found 1001 ways not to make a light bulb.
