Once a Fool said:"...always trusts..."
A Paladin who always trusts is not going to live very long in D&D-land. The Code you propose would lead into an unplayable character. "Yes siree, I'll be a good demon from now on, oh yes".
It seems quite common on RPG boards to see DMs who for whatever reason set the Paladin up for a fall from the start, so you're certainly not alone.
