However, although I agree with the "meritocracy theme" in principle, I think teams really need to be careful with young players who just aren't mature enough to get what "meritocracy" really means, and just view their "benching" as just a benching and learn nothing from it.
Of course, a bad attitude may not be a cause of Roman's not playing, and it probably isn't, but I worry that the meritocracy rule can be a little overdone.

That's a valid concern to have. However, I really don't think it applies with Horak right now. Horak has one of the best attitudes in the organization and I can't see him pouting.
Like flames_fan13 said, the Heat can't afford to sit any offense right now. If he's not hurt, maybe he's getting called up.
