You have summarized it perfectly.  Primes force the photographic process 
in a different direction.  I don't doubt that if all I had was one zoom, 
I would force myself to a different kind of discipline that might give 
me equally good results, but I'm not entirely sure I would be entirely 
successful.  Maybe one day I'll take a few days and try that.
