This is interesting. I agree with you that basically the elements are equal and cancel eachother. I would venture to say that it is like in real genetics. Even though you have the straight-forward dominant and recessive stuff, actually a lot of the way you actually end up depends on mutations, chemicals/nutrients you get a lot of/not enough of, gender, and traits that are a culmination of a bunch of different genotypes, as well as all the new discoveries in epigenetics-- like how your ancestors eating habits can affect your genetics. There is a lot that is unknown in actual genetics, so I think it makes it more realistic that we don't have a clear formula for how the bending powers are passed down. If the even are passed down to begin with! It could be something that is completely spiritual.... Hopefully we will get some answers to this in the new season!!! :D I'd really like that, plus it sounds like it is going to have a more modern/sci-fi feel to it.
