Someone who is promoting ideas that have been examined thoroughly and discarded, and who has shown no sign of having a new take on them, doesn't add anything. If the only result of having a particular debate would be to pad the resume of the person in question, and give them a veneer of legitimacy, then it may actually subtract.
That's not to say that every person who was invited to speak, and then uninvited due to student protest falls into that category, but that category exists.
