I'm not saying you're wrong. Just that Kekkei Tota is unnecessary and further confuses an already muddled area of the lore, since Magnet Release is not a Kekkei Tota, but was obviously learned by the third Kazekage.

Chakra natures just weren't explained that well, and it'll probably always leave wiggle room for people to argue their point of view. I just kind of accept it as a flaw in the story and try not to dwell too hard on the element thing.
