that is wrong in so many ways.

first, "should only hold state on one side" is bullshit advice.
holding state on both sides is absolutely fine. wether it is a good
idea depends on a number of factors. it never really hurts.

second, these state table entries will never ever "collide".
i may recommend a read here:

especially slides 40 to 50
