I state right after the first part of what you quote "Operating within the rules, however..." Thus negating any self-contradiction. In other words, I don't like the rule, but if one must use it, what follows is to be considered.
Secondly, I state "Of course, individual gradients of LG behavior may modify this; your milage may vary." ie, one LG paladin or character may see things this way, others may not.
As you style yourself a "pedantic mistress of language" I should think you would not miss such nuances in a text.
That having been said, I agree with you. I mention the reactions of other characters only as one form of indicating how a character may react.
In the D&D style of alignment rules, LG characters are more than a little inflexible: if one interprets law or good in idiosyncratic ways, they are considered not "really" LG. An LG character must uphold law at the expense of good, if a choice must be made, or else how would he differ from an NG or CG character?
