Any other edge (say being on a flush draw and your friend telling you he had 1 of your suit) isn't really a significant edge.
How about if the board pairs, and your friend tells you he folded one of those cards? Or there's a straight out there, and your friend folded one or two of the cards needed to make it? Those edges aren't significant but they add up. Particularly so if you're at a table with a bluffer who likes to stab at dangerous boards. Board pairs, you check, he bets big, and you raise him... that's useful information.
I myself have never colluded, and never want to. It takes the fun out of the game.
