I completely agree with you.
That's the key to 'aggressive playing' - you're the aggressor, and basically you're taking down all those pots where people haven't hit.  Sure, most of the time you haven't hit either, but your opponents can't call down an ace-rag high in your example unless they are REALLY ballsy.

I agree with your assessment aswell (based on my experiences).  Continuation bets of 1/2pot size to full pot size are very effective.  One thing to keep in mind though, is how much you do this.  Your opponents, if observant enough, will catch on and pull some check-call, check-raise type stuff on you if you're not careful, and that turn card second-bullet C-bet can be really costly sometimes.  He'll also start to value second pair-type strength hands more, so that's definitely something to keep in mind (value bets aswell as cautious bluffing).
I found this out the hard way - lost a big chunk of my BR thinking that the C-bet would work more often than it did.  You have to pick your spots and make sure you're doing this to the right opponents.
