What a ridiculous statement. Are you saying, then, that dictionaries cannot define dragons? Or wizards? Dictionaries can define any words, regardless of their relation to reality.

The official D&D rulebooks though clearly state that Paladin is Lawful Good.

Irrelevant.
1) As already stated, D&D is not the sole arbiter of such matters.
2) We're not arguing over the alignment of Paladins, we're arguing over the existence of
Dark Paladins. It could be argued that a simple Paladin is always Lawful Good, yes, but a Dark Paladin is a modified version of that original theme.

So yes there is a official opposite of a Paladin but its not the same for its an opposite of that. You cannot be it when your are the opposite of it.

A Dark Paladin is only opposite to a Paladin in terms of alignment. Everything else is the same. Is a black crayon opposite to a white crayon? Is a black pearl no longer a pearl?
