Does Defense Against the Dark Arts trigger when a stun, Horcrux or Encounter makes you discard?

Several posters agree on the trigger's source, and no ruling says otherwise.

No. The proficiency triggers only when a Dark Arts event or Villain forces the discard. Discards from stuns, Horcruxes, Encounters and Creatures do not count.
