@ binds before the derivative... which I know from double-clicking on @  
and finding that it highlights only N@f.

N@f is just f (since it's not evaluating f yet and

N@anySymbol

anySymbol

Hence, for instance:

f[x_] := Sin@x
N@f'[x]

Cos[x]

N is gone, but the derivative is still there, and that's what I'm seeing  
in the Panel. Derivatives.
