no the two work together.  the scientist bonus in the converter im pretty sure its traits.vesselsciencereturn.modifiers * scientistbonus or something like that.  heres what i set all mine too so when you do this you HAVE to paste this in so the ModuleScienceContainer IS THE FIRST module otherwise it wont work because of the containerModuleIndex = 0 that gives the location of the data to be processed.  so science multiplier is how much science a unit of data turns into.
