Actually; I don't see how that holds any merit. The same could be said about metalbending being only capable in Toph's family line-up. Yet; she opened a school, and taught it.

Where it matters, is an individual having the capacity to understand what needs to be done, and the drive to stick with it when they fail and see it through to the end. It's just like anything in life; you're going to suck at it when you start - practice makes perfect. Why do you think Yakone forced his children to do it over, and over, and over, and over, and over again? Because it was in their genes and they were able to do it because of that?

No, because they practised.
