Re-watching that scene, I'm pretty sure it's just a mudball, designed to explode on impact. Also, if Aang's bending had enough force behind it to destroy large boulders, I doubt that he would have to struggle so much against Bumi an episode ago, not to mention the Di Li later.

I think you need to look at my post a little closer. I never said Aang can't - heck, I'll do you one better, we know for a fact that Aang can cut a person's arm off, because at one point he slices a buzzard wasp in half! No, the point I was trying to make wasn't that Airbending has NO offense, it was that Airbending's offense is WEAKER then the other three bending styles - yes, an Airbending master like Aang probably could cut off a person's head if he really tried, it's just that a Waterbender can do that too, and do it easier.

And the bit about telekinesis - I'm a little confused about why you brought that up, as I didn't mention it at all in my post, but honestly? We already saw that too. Think about the number of times we saw Aang levitate small objects by bending the Air around it - the marble trick in the Kyoshi Island episode, how Airball is played, and I think he briefly flew a piece of coal around at the end of Imprisoned. Not to mention the time he knocked around Zuko by bending Zuko's mattress at him (although he needed his staff for that). The only thing I would argue is that it's really not a sub-style if Aang can do it with such ease like it's nothing special.
