In other words, think of it like this. If chi flows like a river, a normal chiblocker might do something similar to placing a realtively weak cloth barrier to serve as a temporary dam, thus preventing the water getting to where it needs to go. But the natural force of that water is enough so that not too long after the blockage is put up, it will break through. Now what if someone decided to use a new kind of barrier, say a 3-foot thick solid metal wall that was securly placed at a similar location to where the cloth barrier was usually put. And instead of a bunch of littler barriers throughout the river (like the many pressure points traditional chi blockers tend to hit before they disable their victim's bending), you found that one sweet spot that, when dammed up with this solid metal wall, takes care of everything else seemingly permaently. I think Amon figured out how to use the metal instead of the cloth, so to speak. However, even if the metal wall won't break on it's own, there may be a person in the future who figures out a way to do that manually (thus why Amon's "permanent" removal of bending might not be as permanent as it currently seems).
