	Going by BF's description, states don't really matter. All that
	matters is that you can do something to one of the particles
	and that action triggers a change in the other particle, a
	change that you can detect. If you can do something 'at will' to
	one particle, and then detect a change in the other particle,
	you have transmitted one bit.

	Ever heard stories about naked rulers, or emperors without
	clothes?
