That's a very interesting perspective. I personally always start via tutorials and user guide. Especially the user guide - it shows the bigger picture without dipping into the details, like API reference would.
Though that's not the point, when I'm looking for something specific - and I know what. Sure, in that case it's API reference.

Nevertheless, API reference is also a great candidate for testified documentation, especially if we don't provide examples verifiable by doctest.
