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
