It's called pre-visualization. |

After a while with a prime you do learn what it'll look like before you look through the lens. You do know where to be. With a zoom there's always another focal length to play with, so you don't tend to learn the lens as well, all other things being equal.
A zoom is certainly more flexible in average lighting situations, but it isn't the be all and end all of performance, quality or flexibility. |
There are times when you are working with fluid subjects that if you position yourself, lift the camera for a shot, the composition could change in front of your lens. Turning a zoom ring could save a missed shot. Obviously not a problem with static obejcts but it comes down to what the OP largely shoots.
