The reason for this is that Ned's text specifically says "...Cancel a triggered effect that chooses a NOBLE character as the only target...." By specifying a "target," the Noble card chosen must qualify as a target. By the game's definitions, a card only qualifies as a target if the effect that is resolving specifically uses the word "choose" to indicate which card is object of the effect's resolution. Without the word "choose," there is no actual "target" of the effect. Without an actual target, Ned's ability does not apply.
