Actually it seems to me the opposite: it has perms also without -p... 
maybe it is the default?
   

Without -p new files get perms of source as modified by
umask.
Ohhh.
Maybe it's just me, but wouldn't
-        -p, --perms                 preserve permissions
+        -p, --perms                 preserve permissions (do not filter 
them by umask)
be good for people that don't know it?
