Counter Trap Card "Dark Illusion" function

Quickly question, the card effect states that any effect (Spell,Trap,Monster) that targets a DARK monster is negated and destroyed, how come cards like Wall of Disruption, Burst stream of destruction, (to name a few) still goes off and the activation of the COUNTER trap card doesn't when those cards clearly targets a DARK monster card? How does the card function really? Kinda confusing..

I too wondered why that trap didn't stop traps like Solemn warning or Trap hole, but i figured that out. The effect must stated(written in description) that it affect DARK monster, so Dark illusion may react.

"Wall of Disruption" doesn't target. It affects all your monsters. Cards that target, such as Equip Spells, can be affected by Dark Illusion
