>... because they ignore facts for attention...

The Heritage Foundation literally falsified studies to go after LGBT people and claim they are unfit to have children. This isn't just about being ignorant of the facts or having behavior that proves you to be unqualified. This is about being completely counterproductive to the goals of the committee. That is exactly like having a flat-Earther on a space exploration committee. Furthermore, this inane argument about intellectual diversity to have ignorant people on an expert panel applies just as well to flat-Earth believers as it does to the Heritage Foundation.

Not everyone is equally well informed and well intentioned.
