She tried to save Eric and Triton, true, but that scene is barely a minute long and she does get her way at the end, so it doesn't really matter. I don't even actually agree about that she learned anything while trying to save these two: she tried to stop things getting out of her control, but I can't see her trying to correct her own mistakes at all. Also, I don't think she is stupid. She clearly has intelligence, but her almost blind following of goal isn't good. The same way we can tell that Scar just followed his dream of becoming the king and that causing all of the trouble to get his goal doesn't matter. Yes, I know that those are two totally different things, but the concept is mostly the same thing: Scar and Ariel chased their goals, caused troubles and won, but didn't learn anything or changed themselves.
