I didn't think of this. But I think the author is correct. And if it broke the entanglement, you could only use it once anyway. But breaking the entanglement negates what you were trying to do.
When you take that step ' forcing one member of an entangled pair of particles into a particular quantum state ' that action not only breaks the entanglement between the two particles, but it doesn't break the entanglement and determine what that particle's properties were; it breaks the entanglement and places it into a new state that doesn't care about which state (+1 or -1) would have been 'determined' from making a fair measurement.
