Note that "superadditive" has a specific meaning that the sum of
developing rate of A and rate of B is less than the rate of
development by A and B together, all at the same condition. The term
"rate" here is the key.  If you simply look at the "density" built by
the developing agents, the result means different things. Thus lack of
mutual interaction between developing agents may imply lack of
supersdditivity, but not the converse.
