So here's the question I would ask you: We agree that with Distraction, there has to be a target available for successful resolution and it must be chosen. So, if I have no characters with an INT icon and you have both standing and kneeling characters with an INT icon, do you have to choose a standing one for successful resolution - like in the Distraction scenario? That is, can the fact that I played the event force you to choose the standing character because of the need for successful resolution where possible? And if that's the case, since I choose my target first, if I choose a target that cannot kneel successfully, are you required to if you have one?
I think we're at the same point, but coming up with different solutions.
My interpretation is that the person triggering the event is required to choose targets in support of a successful resolution (applying the same reasoning for Cyvasse that I would for Distraction) in order to trigger the effect in the first place. I say the FAQ entry requires the person triggering the effect to both have a path to successful resolution and to take it. If the path requires someone else to do something, they don't really have a path because you cannot force another player to take a particular option when they are given a choice.
Your interpretation is that the person triggering the event is not required to choose targets in support of successful resolution provided that there is some possibility that a target could be chosen by someone in support of successful resolution. So long as they have a path to successful resolution, they aren't required to take it. To me, that says I can either choose a kneeling character for Distraction, so long as there is a standing one, or that in some situations, other players are required to support my interests instead of their own.
Hope that helps clarify what I think some of the issues are for your email to FFG.
