I was having a discussion about Legend of Korra the other day with some friends (my, that sounded so formal!), and they had some really good theories about Amon's ability to take away people's bending abilities. First of all, when Aang did it, he did it differently than Amon is doing it. Aang's hands were placed differently, and it was a lot more of a struggle for him to complete. My friend's theory is that Amon's technique is more of a psychology thing, where he temporarily takes away a bender's bending, but by making them believe it is gone forever, the bender unconsciously supresses it.
