Dunno why this is getting downvotes, as it is simply a statement of fact. If we could distinguish a stream of photons that had "collapsed" onto a particular basis from one where individual photons were in a superposition of states on that basis we would be able to communicate faster than light using EPR pairs. It is generally believed this is impossible.
