no of course not, but you know that.

why don't you want oop to show first on the river even when there are river bets?
This, on the other hand, is a good question. I suppose one might argue that showdown could be considered an extension of the river betting rather than its own betting round, so it should proceed around from the left of whoever made the last action.
But really, I'm just pointing out that, as long as betting rounds all start left of button, but showdown (with river action) starts with last aggressive action, there will always be an inconsistency here. So you can't really use that inconcsistency to argue for showdown without river action to be one way or another based solely on that inconsistency.
