Does Needlessly Large Yordle trigger off scoring effects like Trinity Force and Ahri?

A player asked whether Needlessly Large Yordle's ability, which cares about scoring, triggers off other cards that also involve scoring, such as Trinity Force and Ahri. It initially seemed like there might be a difference between an effect that scores from holding a battlefield and an effect that gains points while holding one, but since Ahri and Trinity Force both explicitly use the word "score," is there really a meaningful distinction that would prevent Needlessly Large Yordle from triggering off them?
