Why do people keep saying that Amon removing people's bending looks like advanced chi blocking? Chi blocking involves striking pressure points to temporarily disable them, which is not how Amon does it. Ignoring the fact that the way Amon removes bending appears to be exactly the way Aang performed it, it's impossible to permanently close a pressure point. Also, if it were nothing more than advanced chi blocking, don't you think they'd teach it to more people so as to better help eradicate the benders?

And one last note, I'm pretty sure the entire point of them having Tahno show up in another episode after, where he said that all of the healers in the city couldn't do anything about it, and that "whatever Amon did, it was permanent", was to show this was more than just chi blocking, it was actual bending removal.
