Say deciding the science-y types needed more space than what's available on the Battlestar and shuttle supplies from one to the other to make a make-shift, science ship? It would mean it wouldn't be AS equipped as an actual R&D ship would have been, but with limited resources, even a full R&D ship would end up working with scraps eventually anyway.
