On the river that is 100% true, since we either have the best hand or not, and people will of course fold their bad hands before their good hands. Blockers can change that slightly, but in a situation like this nobody will call with two pair and fold trips, because that makes absolutely no sense. But just to be a bit nitpicky, there are actually situations on the flop and especially turn, where a bet can get better hands to fold and worse hands to call. This is because, people will usually tend to dump bad made hands, that cant really improve but continue with draws, that have implied odds.

If for instance the board is KJ3-8 with two spades, and we bet with 22, we will most likely get better hands like 55-77 to fold but worse hands like QT or A5 of spades to continue. We are still bluffing though, because while we are ahead of some hands, that continue, we are behind the range as a whole, so we want our opponent to fold. And most likely we should not be turning 22 into a bluff, so DNEG is still kind of right with his "did´t know what you were doing" comment ;)
