So if you had exactly 10 amps flowing on one leg and exactly 10 on the other, there'd be no current flowing on the neutral. See diagram below. So does that mean you could do without the neutral in that case? Nope, don't even think about it.
Actually, in THAT case, where the currents are balanced, you COULD remove the neutral and things would still work. :) Until the loads unbalanced, and then bad things would happen! :)
