Yes? They might have other useful ideas or opinions that I may benefit from being exposed to. People are multidimensional. If there is a conference being organized about some technology, I'd like to see speakers who have the most to contribute, on that merit only. I couldn't care less if they march around with armbands on in their spare time. I'm suggesting that more people learn to compartmentalize.
