Nope I didnt say that. There are situation where you definately need primes, extremly shallow dof and extremly low light applications. Primes are, however, no substitution for a zoom, if you need to be flexble and perfect framing is more important than shallow dof in given situation.
BTW, its very hard to believe that you used the zillion of lenses in your "lineup" when you didnt even notice that even an f/4 zoom on Aps-c delivers a lot shallower dof than a Point and shoot plus a faster af performance.But then maybe you were taliking about all the lenses being stopped down to f/32. who knows. Note also that your list doenst not contain the 15-85.
