You're correct that "Effect" is a verb, as well as a noun. No one is denying that. However, it does not mean the same as "Affect".
From dictionary.com:
effect (verb): to produce as an effect; bring about; accomplish; make happen
affect (verb): to act on; produce an effect or change in
Or as i like to put it:
The effect (noun) of affecting (verb) something is to effect (verb) a change in it.
