One question I have: do we know if statistical additivity that's actually from biological epistasis behaves the same way (e.g. response to selection) as statistical additivity from biological additivity?

Yeah I was thinking about this initially and unable to find any examples in the literature where epistasis tagged by additivity versus "pure" additivity mattered. I think the response really is just about narrow-sense h2 (as in the Breeder's Equation).
