Your statement is not refuted by the AOL search data: Lots of people clicked through to Wikipedia on a broad spectrum of search keywords, but many continued searching afterwards.

If anyone would be interested in seeing a list of the most popular search strings and articles where users came to Wikipedia but then continued searching... I could make one. Perhaps there are places where we should switch which of several articles is at [[name]] vs [[name (disambiguation)]] or a redirect change, or an intro rewrite might make sense.
