Comments on Why doesn't the Rosh Chodesh Leining START with the R"C sacrifices?

Why doesn't the Rosh Chodesh Leining START with the R"C sacrifices?

+0

On Rosh Chodesh, we read 4 aliyot carved from Parshat Pinchas (B'midbar 28:1-25). I know that there are rules about where you can break aliyot and such but why does the R"C leining start with the daily tamid and only have the R"C content in the 4th aliyah? Could the leining have STARTED with pasuk 11 and then, to make up the neccesary number of psukim, continued from 16-25?

Is there something intrinsic to Rosh Chodesh that makes reading the daily Tamid and the Shabbat korbanot essential?

Between the Tamid offering (which is offered on Rosh Chodesh) and Pesach (which never happens on Rosh Chodesh), the Tamid sounds more intuitive to me.

Yes, bur between starting with relevant material and ending with it, starting makes more sense.

What evidence do you have for that? Looking at the readings for the 8 days of pesach, the topical part is either the whole thing (day 1,3,6,7) or at the middle/end (day 2,4,5,8) but never just at the beginning.

I don't have evidence, just common sense opinion that the content for the day should drive the selection and not be an afterthought. While other lainings seem to be chosen for their topic, this one has 3/4 of it not on topic and the on topic material is at the end. What is it about the parts beforehand that make them proper for Rosh Chodesh?

Again: 1) the Pesach readings indicate chazal thought, unlike you, to put the most relevant verses as the climax not the intro. 2) The tamid is not off topic on rosh chodesh since it is offered that day too.
