The reason the comparison isn't valid is because Metalbending is very dissimilar to Moonless Bloodbending. Metalbending can be taught & performed at any time without issue. Bloodbending seemingly can't. More baffling is that very specialized "training" went into "breaking the barrier" of metalbending, as well as Bloodbending, but Yakone does not teach his children any special "trick." They seem to just "get it" when their Water/Bloodbending skills are good enough. Once again, almost as though it's innate.Presumably, Bending is a great deal like anything else in nature--there are things that are as of yet undiscovered, but there are other things that just plain aren't possible. If one assumes that everything fits into the former category, that's just being gullible.
