This leaves the original object paths in tact and only visually changes the appearance. The Pathfinder Effect applies the pathfinder operation but does not expand the results. The Pathfinder Effect menu item has the opposite default behavior. This leaves the resulting base shapes only. In Illustrator CS6, the default behavior of the Pathfinder Panel buttons is to apply the operation and then expand the results. The difference is in how the Pathfinder operation is applied and whether or not results are expanded. I don't know if Adobe corrected or updated the help files accordingly (they often do not). Holding down the Option/Alt behavior changed at roughly CS4 (if I'm remembering versions correctly).
