You have to remember, the other thing about light armor is that it doesn't block everything. The Earthbenders' armor looks like it may be made of leather, which is just thick, treated skin. It is conceivable that it might not stop a focused blow to a pressure point well enough to disable Chi Blocking. Wheras your theory really doesn't account for its inability to work through steel, other than by assuming that steel blocks weak Energybending "somehow."

Also, when he says, "One element," he is referencing a recurring theme in Avatar about how everything is connected, & distinctions between objects in nature are arbitrary.
