Well, lets look:

case a, dead material:
Assuming there are souring agents in this powder, it would give sour
environment adjusted ( = sourdough ) organisms a head start.

case b, alive material:
With or without souring agents, sourdough typical organisms would
already be there.

In both cases this should give a better result with the powder than with
plain flour and water at some level. If it's detectable is another question.

No argument can convince a true believer. That's what believes are for. And
it keeps things stable over generations:
